Salomon Men's SpeedCross 2 Trail Running Shoe

Product Descriptions

Backcountry Description: Built for speed, the Salomon Men's SpeedCross 2 Trail Running Shoe is ready for adventure racing mayhem. Salomon stripped down the already light trail running shoes by using a mesh upper to trim the SpeedCross 2's weight to a lean, race-ready 11 ounces. However, that doesn't mean that Salomon did away with cushioning or stability. Salomon's Cushioning System puts cushioning material in the heel to reduce heel strike impact, high-density foam in the arch to control pronation, and elastic material in the forefoot for a dynamic push-off. With Salomon's Sensifit lacing system, obtaining a precision fit is easy. Just slip your foot in and pull the Quickfit drawcord; the shoe automatically wraps around your arch and forefoot. An open-cell Ortholite liner further increases breathability, and it's treated with an anti-odor finish so you're teammates don't gag when you take your shoe off at the end of the race. A super aggressive winter Contragrip outsole won't become rigid in cold conditions, so you can run all night to the next check point if you have to.

Altrec Description: Flying down the trail, as your feet seemingly never touch the ground, the Salomon Men's SpeedCross 2 is ultra light and so blazing fast that you just have to let them go. Amazingly, at a mere 11 ounces there is still plenty of performance beefiness, so you won't spin out. An anti-debris durable mesh upper is Sensifit wrapped in synthetic overlays to give a precise and secure fit. A Quicklace(TM) one pull lace system quickly customizes the closure, as the quick cinch tab tucks out of the way in its garage pocket. The dual density EVA midsole targets stabilization of the foot against stone or root roll over. The aggressive multi-density winter Contragrip outsole remains pliable and gripping even in cold conditions, to give you optimum traction as you blast over Tioga Pass. With a mudguard and protective toe bumper your feet are covered in the event they ever come back to earth.
