I am telling everyone to buy these shoes, They are worth the price. Great on trail, at home, on the beach, any surface. Comfortable, supportive, easy to get on and off, dry, warm and or cool, just like a thermos, how do they know?

2.) elite tech running trail shoe

I owned a couple of other trail running shoes before, but got to say this is the most high tech one. What interests me about these shoes are the fact they are as comfortable as tennis or running shoe. Two, I live in the Northwest and at time do wondering into the forest now and then. What actually caught my eye was the nifty color scheme orange and black then the cable shoe laces. This looks good, I seen a NorthFace with the twist lock, but that is bulky. I never own Salomon's shoe before, but do own some of their snowboarding equipments and got to say they are a specialty company.

Features:
Well I am using this in the snow for the time being because it is gore-tex to keep out the water. It isn't the warmest, but it you wear thinker sock then it is fine and it keep water out and heat in like most Gore-tex product. This shoe has more stability (AC Skeleton and Muscle) then Teva Men's Aniso Event Waterproof Breathable Trail Shoe, but the Teva might be a little more comfortable, but not by much. The Teva's rubber sole grip on the bottom is already worn down in less the half a year. I hope this "Contagrip" last a little longer. Both have OrthoLite insole. Most shoes are narrow so I have to get a half a size larger, but not for this XT Wing, it has a wider base. This way better than any Adidas trail shoe I every own like:adidas Men's AS 1 Trail Running Shoe

I got to say this is one of the best looking/ designed shoe I got in a while, plus it is loaded with hiking trail technologies and did I say it is one of the most comfortable shoes I worn.

I love these shoes. Almost everyone I work with has a pair of Solomon shoes so I had to get some for myself. The XT Wings WP are very comfortable and completely waterproof which makes them great for where I live because of the rainy climate. Highly recommended.

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.

9.) Technology Gold. Durable and sturdy. Great trail shoe for pronators.

I'll keep this one short. I've reviewed several trail shoes on this site and each has its pros and cons. The Salomon XT Wing is perhaps the most technologically advanced shoe I've every worn. It has stability control, traction control, a durable upper, a comfortable midsole, great handling on any terrain. I recommend it for anyone who is a larger runner and overpronators. I would also recommend it for ultramarathons. I've run three ultras in these bad boys and never missed a step. Okay, for the cons: the lace cables did break on me once, so I recommend buying a lace kit so that you can replace them if they get frayed. Also, PLEASE make sure that you read the instructions on how to lace them properly because I almost cracked my skull open when I tripped on the cable loop after improperly tying them. Otherwise, outstanding product.

10.) Comfortable for everyday use

My experience of use in mountaineering treks I have been very comfortable, I use them for everyday use

11.) Nice fit on heel, horrid cushioning in forefoot
Reviewed by: Mcubed Oregon
Rating:

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.

12.) Keep Trying Salomon

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...
