I finally cracked the code to dressing like the ultimate It Girl. The secret? “Ugly” footwear. From controversial clogs to chunky, mega platform styles, nothing—and I mean nothing—is off limits. Since the start of this year alone, I’ve been spotting one specific brand of divisively stylish shoes all over New York City. Enter: Salomon sneakers.

Supermodels including Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski have been wearing the unsexy hiking shoes for years, but Amazon officially named the kicks among its top trending products for 2025. Not to mention, they’ve been going viral on social media for a while now; even designers like Sandy Liang have collabed with the brand. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to embrace the gorpcore footwear craze, and I’m starting with the following Salomon styles (some of which just so happen to be on sale).

Speedcross Peak Sneakers

$92 at Amazon

If you’re looking to dip your toes (literally) into the Salomon trend, start with a low-profile option like the easy-to-style Speedcross Peak Sneakers. The pair has the silhouette of a classic running shoe, but with elevated details including the brand’s iconic pull-on lacing system. Another pick I’m eyeing? This XA Pro 3D Pair is reminiscent of the hiking shoes I wore as a girl scout, but in the coolest way possible. I’m certain the shoes will add an eye-catching pop to even my most basic loungewear looks.

Speaking of statement making, these Speedcross Shoes are a unique hybrid of hiking boots and traditional sneakers; they feature thick, resilient outsoles and a lightweight feel, making them ideal for rough terrain outings (though I’ll likely just be sporting mine on the subway). Another striking style, the Ultra Flow Trail Running Shoes are now on sale for less than $100. My favorite feature is the plush color-blocked outsoles, which elevates the pair from your average everyday sneakers.

Head to Amazon to embrace the Salomon shoe trend from $90.
