Hiking boots and shoes must have certain characteristics to make sporting enjoyable, safe, and not too tiring. For years, the Salewa and Salomon brands have specialized in the production of clothing, accessories, and sports equipment and have similar characteristics.

The main difference, however, is that in our opinion Salewa is more specialized in the hiking sector, while Salomon also produces products for other types of sports. However, both have created articles with all kinds of designs, very safe, very comfortable, perfect for ensuring stability even on the steepest and most muddy terrains.

In addition, both Salewa and Salomon always choose the highest quality materials, to make the footwear durable over time, highly waterproof, and light.

Both companies also contribute to respecting nature by choosing eco-sustainable solutions. With similar prices, their fundamental objective is to always satisfy every customer’s need, but above all also their safety.

The elements that characterize the two brands are not only these, let’s discover the others together and try to understand which of the two brands is the best!

For today I chose to compare two of my favorite brands: Nike and Asics.

What not many people know is the fact that these brands are connected somehow during the course of history.

I have tried both of them so I speak from my personal experience. While Nike is an American worldwide known brand, Asics is a Japanese trademark that produces some of the best sports garments on the market today.
