Salomon Men's XT Wings 2 Trail Running Shoe:
Runner's World Best Debut Award, April 2008! By removing the waterproof bootie, membrane construction and a little forefoot toe area reinforcement, the new Salomon XT Wings 2 Trail Running Shoes for Men is lighter, so you can fly farther, faster, stronger. As you bolt out the door for your favorite terra trail run, you'll be flowing effortlessly with unparalleled speed and agility across the varied terrain. The gusseted tongue with symmetrical QuicklaceSystem and all around Sensifithugs the foot precisely as you come down off the mountain. A responsive triple-density EVA cushioned midsole is wrapped in a rubber belt and mud guard for dry protection, while the Agile Chassis Skeleton ensures smooth heel-to-toe transitions and side-to-side stability. Bounding downhill as you skip over the occasional log or boulder, the Contagrip® outsole maximizes speed by collecting your heel strike energy and transferring it back during push-off. A breathable Ortholite® insole with an anti-bacterial treatment keeps your foot cool and comfortable during the long haul.
