Runner's World Best Debut Award, April 2008! By removing the waterproof bootie and membrane construction, the new Salomon XT Wings 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 asymmetrical Quicklace System and all around Sensifit hugs 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.
great shoes
I have a great deal of trouble finding a pair of shoes to properly fit and Solomon is a great fit for me. This is my second pair and I really like wearing the shoes.
Solomon XT Wings - Great shoes
I was looking for another pair of Soloman shoes and the XT Wings were very similar to my old pair that lasted over 2 years. I am very happy with the XT Wings and they are very comfortable. They are an all-around shoe for hiking, running and casual dress. I definitely recommend them. Altrec service and shipping was excellent.
well made shoe
Although I am not a runner, I hike and walk a lot. These shoes ran true to size and are very comfortable. Seem to be well made and very durable. When I first wore them I developed hot spots on one foot; however, this may be a function of a break in period that others have talked about because the hot spots have diminished. I would definitely recommend these shoes without hesitation.
