Product Description
The Salomon Men's XT Wings Shoe boasts the rugged strength and durability for any trail run, but the comfort alone will have you looking for every chance to wear them. With the help of a foot-hugging asymmetrical Quicklace system, and pronation control in the midsole, the XT Wings WP Shoe provides unparalleled fit and comfort both on the trail and off. Salomon's versatile, Running Contragrip sole tames any trail; from rocky descents to sandstone side trips. The antimicrobial Ortholite footbed puts an end to foot funk, while the Agile Chassis Skeleton supports your arches and provides a stable platform for rocky and rough terrain, reducing foot fatigue and chances of a rolled ankle.
The perfectly balanced combination of two opposing concepts- cushioning and agility. The XT Wings provides unparalleled speed and power making this Salomon's most balanced achievement thus far.
Summary: Nice fit on heel, horrid cushioning in forefoot 2010-07-08
Comment: The lacing system is cool, I will have that for all of my running shoes from now on.The heel is very comfortable and seems to hug your foot nicely. I run 100% on well groomed logging roads and I can feel EVERY rock or stick on the ground if my forefoot hits it. Pretty bad cushioning for a "trail" shoe. Looks great and the lacing system is cool but I would definitely not buy again.

Summary: Really great shoes 2010-06-12
Comment: First I recommend trying on some Salomons at your local R.E.I. or hiking store to find out what your shoe size actually is then buy the shoes you want online. I bought these shoes for regular mountain hikes that I will be taking this summer. On the hikes I've been on so far these shoes have been better then anything else I've tried. The other people I hike with that have been hiking every weekday for 4 years say Salomon are the only shoes that last a decent amount of time. I also have a pair of Salomon snow shoes that are the best I've ever had.
Comment: great product once you find your size....the rest is easy....and they are stylish! Love the speed laces too

Summary: Keep Trying Salomon 2010-03-02
Comment: If you have tried the Salomon RAID RACE, yes the yellow ones from 8 years ago, you will know what I`m talking about, all attempt to make similar models from Salomons have failed, the best ones: XA PRO 3D, this XT WINGS not worth it...
