Description of Salomon XT Whisper Trail Running Shoe - Women's:
When ladies in the know gear up for a road race or light trail run, they pull on the feathery-light Salomon Women’s XT Whisper Trail Running Shoe. This ultralight runner features a women’s-specific shape and an asymmetrical Quicklace to give you a secure fit with a single yank. The breathable mesh upper breathes moisture as you tear down the trail, and the Agile Chassis System cushions your foot from tree roots, rocks, and stray animals. Salomon also added a Contagrip outsole to keep you glued to your running surface of choice.
yep- these shoes are great. super lightweight and lots of support. i have an unusually high arch, so it can be hard to find a pair of shoes that can do the job and these work great. i did decide to take out the quick lacing system and put in just normal laces, the quick lacing didn't end up being so quick for me, but other than that, i'm really happy.
ps: these do run really, really big.
These shoes are fantastic! They took the 14 mile trek I made a couple of weeks ago and still look like new. We went through knee-high rivers, muddy bogs, and very dusty plains. My feet were comfortable and they dried out 10 to 15 minutes after leaving the river (of course you need to wear them with light-weight wool socks). I would recommend these to every woman out there.
Love these new whispers. Super cushiony, very comfortable and unbelievably light. Run in the XA Pro but wanted something for the gym/road and dirt paths I run a lot. The fit is just dreamy and they will be great in the hot weather. Salomon lacing is to die for.
