Supports stable walking even in steep and rocky terrain.
The members of the team are wearing the X-Ultra 4. This is the latest in Salomon's X-Ultra series of hiking shoes, which are characterized by their high rigidity and solid construction.
Enomoto chose the low-cut model, while Yamamoto and Shibayama chose the mid-cut model. Both models are equipped with GORE-TEX, a waterproof and breathable material.
. Now, it is time to set out again. It is about 2 km , or about 2 hours, from Tenguhara to Hakuba Ooike Pond.
After passing the wooden path in Tengu-hara and through the tree line, the ascent to Norikura-dake (乗鞍岳) begins.
. This is quite a steep climb. The steep surface, with large rocks piled up on top of each other, continues, making it more difficult than usual to place your feet on the surface.
This is where Salomon's X-Ultra 4s come into their own. The hard sole with an advanced chassis is less affected by uneven surfaces and provides excellent stability even on rugged, rocky terrain. The sole is also very stable, even on rugged, rocky terrain, yet does not restrict movement, allowing for light and nimble footwork.
