The new Xr Crossmax door-to-trail is the latest and greatest of all hybrid running shoes. With its innovative technology it is capable of running on road and trail, one of the reasons it is able to do this is because of the newer tread which is much more durable. Whether your running on slick roads or muddy trails the traction on the Crossmax is unbeatable. I took these puppies out for a spin on a groomed track and I felt that I had better grip than if I was wearing Yaktrax. The first thing you wonder about these shoes is how much do they weigh? At a light 320grams these shoes are light enough for your speed days or just when you are in need of a long run without leg fatigue. Now look at the picture and find the read line running along the out sole of the shoe, this is Salomon's newest technology called the OS Tendon or Over-sized Tendon. The OS Tendon acts like a pole vault pole, when you flex your foot when you are about to push off it springs back and gives you a speedy push off. In scientific terms it means it has potential energy when flexed then it has kinetic energy when released. Another great thing about the Crossmax is the fit, with the extra grommet it provides a secure fit that hugs your foot like a sock. The toe area is very breathable and is equipped with Senisflex technology, which prevents bunions and makes for a more secure fit. I have accomplished many long runs in these shoes and I always feel ready for more after I am done because it is light weight and comfortable. Now available on
