Joma Crillon Men 2224 Outdoor Waterproof – Robust and Protective Trekking Shoe
The Joma Crillon Men 2224 outdoor waterproof shoe combines a waterproof membrane, robust rubber sole, and reinforced upper to offer you complete protection on trekking trails, mountain hikes, and walks in wet or muddy conditions.
Waterproof and Breathable Membrane
The integrated waterproof membrane blocks water, mud, and external moisture, keeping your feet dry during stream crossings, light rain, or wet snow. Controlled breathability reduces internal condensation on prolonged 3-6 hour excursions, preventing blisters from excessive sweating.
Robust Anti-Slip Rubber Sole
The high-density rubber sole with deep lugs ensures reliable traction on mixed terrains (rock, mud, wet grass, gravel) and superior abrasion resistance, 30% higher than standard EVA soles. Ideal for trails with moderate inclines of 10-25% and uneven terrain.
Reinforced Upper and Toe Protection
The reinforced synthetic upper with a protective toe cap absorbs impacts against rocks and roots, protecting your toes from injury. Side reinforcements stabilize the foot on uneven terrain, reducing the risk of ankle sprains.
Cushioned Midsole for Extended Comfort
The EVA midsole absorbs impacts on steep descents and rocky terrain, reducing muscle fatigue on 8-15 km hikes. The medium density balances cushioning and stability without sacrificing ground feedback.

Who Are They Ideal For
Perfect for beginner and intermediate hikers who tackle trekking trails with wet conditions, mud, or wet snow. Suitable for day hikes of 5-15 km on non-technical mountain terrain, alpine refuges, and multi-day walks with a light backpack (5-10 kg). Ideal for autumn-winter-spring seasons with temperatures of 0-15°C.
When NOT to Choose Them
If you are tackling technical mountaineering, via ferratas, or icy terrain, consider boots with Vibram soles and crampon compatibility. Not suitable for summer trekking above 25°C (waterproof membrane reduces breathability). The mid-cut fit may be too low for those seeking high ankle support with heavy backpacks over 15 kg. Not ideal for fast trail running (400g weight is excessive).
Comparison with Alternatives
Compared to Salomon X Ultra 4 GTX, they offer a 45% lower price but a less performing membrane (no Gore-Tex). Compared to Merrell Moab 2 Mid WP, they have a more robust sole and similar weight. Compared to Columbia Newton Ridge, they cost 20% more but guarantee superior waterproofing and greater durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are they completely waterproof? Yes, the membrane blocks external water for up to 2-3 hours of light rain or short stream crossings. Not suitable for prolonged submersion or heavy rain exceeding 4 hours.
Can I use them in snow? Yes, suitable for wet snow and non-icy snowy trails. For ice or compacted snow, add trekking crampons.
How do I choose the size? Regular fit: choose your usual size or half a size larger if you wear thick technical socks or orthopedic insoles. Leave 1 cm of space in front of your toes to avoid compression when descending.
