Salomon

Salomon Speedcross:



Race-ready, amazingly comfortable, ultralight trail shoe with aggressive tread for grip on soft, slippery terrain. Ideal for running on soft surfaces or for winter running on ice and snow covered sidewalks. Includes the "sensifit" lacing system which eliminates the need to stop midrun to retie or deal with the irritation of your laces bouncing up and down on the top of your foot. Fits on the narrow side and is relatively low profile in the forefoot, but still has a bit of a drop from heel to toe.

I personally ran in this shoe 3 out of 6 days at transrockies and relied on it whenever we had days with a lot of steep climbing. It is a very fast feeling shoe and the traction is fantastic both up and down hill without feeling bulky underneath the foot or inhibiting your ability to feel the ground. It technically has some stability to it, but I am a pretty neutral runner and did not experience any problems with it as a result of this. I really enjoyed running in this shoe. The added benefit of never having to stop and retie my shoes or bother with them at all coupled with the great feel of the shoe was enough to make it my favorite shoe to run any kind of trail.

Salomon XA Comp



Light, breathable, neutral trail shoe that excells at both trail running and fast hiking. Newly designed toe cap and improved wrap around the foot from previous models. Heavier and bulkier feel than the Speedcross, but good for everyday training, hiking, walking, casual wear, or winter running on harder surfaces.
