From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Salomon XT Wings won't make you fly but they will give you the confidence and stability to run on virtually any terrain. The XT Wings are among the most advanced shoes on the market, the Active Chassis System (ACS) offers unparalleled support and control, making this a perfect running shoe for long distance, bigger runners and over pronators. The XT Wings 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. 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."

Salomon's versatile, Running Contragrip sole tames any trail; from rocky descents to sandstone side trips.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Runner's World Best Debut Award, April 2008! By removing the waterproof bootie and membrane construction, the new Salomon XT Wings 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 asymmetrical Quicklace System and all around Sensifit hugs 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."

First impression is good- solid shoe with support, kind of felt like a road shoe in terms of cushion. Traction is great, something Salomon is well known for. Slightly heavy but not a deal breaker."
