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.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Salomon XT Wings 2 Trail Running Shoe for Men is available through Altrec.com.

sweet kicks
I have been running in XT wings since they came out. They are light, but provide good support, excellent traction. If dirt, sand etc, gets in the shoe, you can slip them on/off in 10 seconds because of the quicklace system.

My brother and i have used this product for several years and are very satisfied with it. The XT Wings 2 fits even better than any other pair of running shoes I've ever worn. It's a very sturdy yet light running shoe which gives just the right support. It's excellent for harsh terrains and withstands harsh weather. Virtually indestructible. Performs well in long distance running while letting the foot breath. The cushioning gives a lot of support. Just recently got my pair in autobahn/ black/ sprout green. Love it! Love it! Love it! My brother can't wait to get his new pair as well.

Thumbs up
I loved the first generation of this shoe and the second generation looks to be just as awesome, but seems to run alittle bigger in size. XT Wings have terrific cushioning and breathability is amazing. My feet get hot in most other shoes, but not these. Lastly, the lacing system is very convenient. It's easy to tighten, easy to loosen alittle when you want to chill and easy to remove.

XT Wings 2 - Best running shoe ever
I have a high arch, high instep and wide foot and have had nightmares trying to find shoes that fit. I also have been battling Achilles tendonitis. These are the best fitting shoes EVER! It has a nice wide toe box and have no problem at all with any seams or tightness associated with other shoes. I love the quick lacing system which really enhances the fit due to my high instep. They are not too cushioned and not too rigid - i believe this has helped to alleviate my Achilles problem. I use these for crosstraining, running on trails and pavement and they seem to do the job everywhere. I just wish I could wear them to work. I love these shoes and hope Salomon does not change a thing in the design. Cons: I tried to buy the size 12 in the GTX (gortex) version and they did not fit the same. The gortex version was very tight in the toe box and made my feet go numb while wearing them around the house.
