Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Salomon Men's XT Wings GTX Trail Running Shoe won't quite let you peacefully float over muddy trails and treacherous debris without a care in the world, but the waterproof breathable Gore-Tex membrane, gusseted tongue, and sidewall mudguard will keep moisture and trail detritus from getting into your shoe and ruining your trail run. An asymmetrical Quicklace gives you a secure fit with a single pull, and Salomon's Active Cushioning System chassis stabilizes your foot on rough, uneven terrain. The XT Wings also features an OrthoLite insole for ergonomic comfort and a Contagrip outsole to help you stay upright in slick conditions."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Salomon XT Wings GTX won't make you fly but they will keep your feet dry regardless of the weather and it will give you the confidence and stability to run on virtually any terrain. The XT Wings are jam packed with advanced technology: the Active Chassis System (ACS) offers unparalleled support and control, making this a perfect running shoe for long distance, bigger runners and over pronators. With the addition of Gore-Tex weather will never stop your runs. The XT Wings GTX features: Active Chassis Skeleton, which aids heel-to-toe transition for runability, and side-to-side movement for improved stability. Agile Cell Muscle to provide comfort and cushioning with twice the durability of average EVA foam. The AC Tendon, which provides a connection between the different components of the sole, resulting in a more dynamic push-off. which means a more porweful, controlled stride. Gore-Tex lining is guaranteed to keep your feet dry. Fit: Slightly different than the renowned XA Pro series. Still a snug rearfoot, with an improved heel cup and heel lateral support. Width is a true D, even with a medium thick sock. Heavier runners who complained that the XA Pro series lacked forefoot cushioning will be pleased at the improvement. True to length with thin and medium thin socks."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"As you bolt out the door for your favorite terra trail run, you'll be flying effortlessly with unparalleled cushion and agility in your new Men's XT Wings GTX Trail Running Shoe. Flowing across the wet then dry terrain, a bootie construction with waterproof breathable GORE-TEX membrane maintains your foot comfort equilibrium. The gusseted tongue with asymmetrical Quicklace System and all around Sensifit hugs the foot precisely as you rapidly descend off the mountain. A responsive triple-density EVA cushioned midsole is wrapped in a rubber belt and mud guard for dry protection, while the Active Cushioning System chassis 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 effort 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 until you say enough."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"The perfectly balanced combination of two opposing concepts- cushioning and agility. This waterproof version provides unparalleled speed and power even under bad weather conditions."

"This shoe is amazing and by far the best trail running shoe I tried. So far I used New balance, Adidas and Nike models, but nothing can compare with the XT Wings!

Very comfortable, foot stays in right place without the toe touching the shoe on downhill running, true waterproof and keeps you running."
