I contain multitudes. I yearn for the great outdoors yet can’t imagine living anywhere other than Manhattan. As such, I needed a pair of shoes that would take me from walking 20 blocks to traversing up mountainsides. The answer? The Salomon XT-4 OG Sneaker.

The brand designs its often sold-out footwear with functionality, comfort, and design in mind — just ask Hilary Duff who also wears these shoes.

Salomon XT-Whisper Sneaker

Although not the same color, this is the exact style Duff wore back in March. I’m a fan of these sneakers, as their non-clunky design allows them to easily double as normal walking shoes. As such, I’d wear them with wide-leg pants or capris on office days. One customer was particularly impressed with their “lightweight” design and that they “don’t require a break-in period.”

My mom’s sense of style leans towards sophisticated yet functional. This sneaker strikes the ideal balance between the two, thanks to its understated design, supportive footbed, and breathable mesh upper. She’s particularly fond of the drawstring system, as she never has to worry about tripping over untied laces. Bonus: Thanks to the water-resistant exterior, they’ve been a staple in her closet throughout all four seasons in Pennsylvania.

I’ll be the first to acknowledge that Salomons are an investment. If you’re not ready for that commitment, dip your toe in with this similar style for under $50. For $100 less, you still get cord laces, a slip-resistant outsole, and cushioned footbed. “I didn’t even wear them in before I went on a two-week hike on the Appalachian trail, [but I] never got a blister from them,” a buyer raved.

That’s not all! There are even more Salomons and lookalikes to peruse including a waterproof pair from Hunter that’s 66 percent off and a Columbia style that’s ideal for wide-foot buyers.
