I took these shoes out for a 1 1/2 run in the local hills today. I'm 155lbs, 5'10' and I supinate just a bit. I enjoy/need great arch support, and my feet tend to be wide. My running consists of 4-5 days a week and is 80% trails. The toe box is mildly narrow, but no toe scrunching. The arch support felt awesome, and I didn't use my insole inserts. My heels didn't wiggle around or slide up or down. I could perceive some of the seams inside of the shoe might be an issue during a 4+ hour run. No more lace-tension system across big toe. I gave the lace system a slight tug at the start and didn't touch them for the rest of the run. The lace system tightened evenly across its length. The shoe's tongue is fairly well-padded and has a micro pocket for the laces. My feet never rolled out or in and the shoe grips well in slick downhill mud. The shoe feels great running laterally across downhill slopes, and the padding around the heel collar is thick. On down hills, the shoe's heel collar in the rear part might have been rubbing my Achilles a little bit too much, but it was just my left foot. On my final stretch back to my vehicle which is mostly smooth downhill and flat dirt, the shoe's lack of plush road cushioning is evident. I loved running trails in my Vomero 2, and those things were clouds, but these shoes were not designed for long, flat sections of hard-packed dirt or pavement. They are not total bricks, but they make you concentrate on your stride. That's probably good.

Shoes are great. Bought to replace an older pair of Salomons and these don’t dissatisfy. Fit is on the narrow side which works well for me, true to shoe size as well. I like the rubber end cap over the toe on these better than the other models. Seems less likely to peel back.

I think that Salomon shoes fit me very well. The toe box is very breathable. However, if waterproofing is important to you, definitely get the Gore Tex version instead.

More snug and comfortable than the XA Pro 3D Ultras I have. Awesome looking shoes. Very comfortable fit. Bought 1 pair to wear, one pair to stock up. Out of all the colors, the Autobahn/Black/Sprout Green looks best.

Very comfortable shoe with just the right amount of support. Well constructed and very lightweight. The breathability is superior. In fact, on one extremely windy day I could actually feel the air transfer through the shoe.

I have been wearing the Salomon XT Wings since they came out 5 years ago and absolutely love them. I run mostly trails but they work great on pavement too. The XT Wings 2 changed slightly and seem to be slightly narrower in the forefoot but are still generous as I prefer more room in my running shoes. What I like about these shoes is the good cushioning, stability, lacing system and they breathe well. About the only complaint is the heel does wear through it's first layer after about 6 months, but the experts say you should change your shoes at this interval anyway.

These are the best pair of tennis shoes my son has had. They keep their shape and still look brand new due to the well-made construction. He plays in them all day because they are so comfortable. The shoes definitely stand out and look better than the rest. I will buy this shoe again and again!

These are among the most comfortable and stable shoes I\'ve had. I\'m just coming off a broken leg, and I wanted a shoe to get around with that provided a safe platform. These have exceeded my expectations.

I've been wearing Salomon Wings since they came out. They are light and comfortable, and provide plenty of traction. If I have any complaint, they are a little too flexible in the shank, and provide slightly inadequate support for longer efforts. I've been replacing the sock liners with super feet, which helps a bit. I really like the lacing system on these (and many other Salomon shoes); it's easy to use and tucks out of the way.

Overall a very good trail shoe. Very stable and offers good protection on rough sections of trail. Not so good on the road although they are much better suited to road and hard packed trails than the XA 3D's I purchased a couple of years ago. Definitely felt a half size smaller than marked.

Originally bought the XT wings off a sales table, I wasn\'t very impressed with the style or lace system, but as soon as i tried them on I loved them. I liked the cushion and support therefore I thought the xt wings 2 would be an improvement over the original. The wings 2 do offer a great shoe but in my opinion not as good a combination that the original offered. I like allot of cushion and the wings 2 are supportive but not as cushioned. The original was a great balance of support and cushion combined with durability, I actually had to replace the shoe laces a couple of times. Still \r\ndont like the lace system, they squeak sometimes, and still not crazy about style and color selection, but I would still buy another pair if I do not find a better replacement which will be tough to do.

I bought these for traveling and trekking around SE Asia. Thus far, they have been great. Choosing only one pair of shoes for 6 months is a difficult decision, but these Salomon's have been extremely versatile. If you are doing any hard core or cold/wet weather hiking then moving up to the goretex version may be better, but I felt that was overkill and made my feet a bit damp for these purposes. Buy a 1/2 size bigger as your feet tend to swell throughout the day.

This is a great shoe and overall worth the price.It offers the stability as advertised and then some. However, Salomon needs to figure out the strength on the lacing system or include a spare set with purchase. Also the tread could be a little stronger as my last pair wore down in about 9 months with average use. This is my third set of Salomon shoes within the last 2 years and all of them have needed the laces replaced. Once Salomon figures this issue out they will have a 5 star shoe!

Very comfortable, great lace up system, only downfall is they are very cold outside because of the thin mesh. However, that is in January in Wisconsin. I will be packing them for AZ next week!

As a powerlifter who weighs 250, I need a shoe that can handle the heavy body weight. I found this shoe to be amazing; the arch support and stability is second to none. the quick lace system is awesome as well. I do not run trails but use this as a gym shoe for in gym aerobics and cross training, it is perfect for those applications.

These have to be my favorite shoes. Or the coolest shoes I have ever bought . It always takes me a few weeks (or even months) to start liking a new pair. I liked these the first day, and I'm so picky. As far as Zappos goes, they are my favorite online shopping go-to store. The best service and you guys ship so fast .

Love these shoes! Super comfortable, look awesome, and are great for running in slick conditions. Would suggest trying on a pair in the store, as the sizes run a little different. Generally an 8, but in Salomons I am a 7.5 in womens, and a 7 in mens. Worth the work.

This is my second pair of XT Wings 2. Overall, I really like this shoe for trail running. It works for road running but isn't great. I have run in all weather and terrain conditions with these and they definitely stand up to the abuse. The one issue I started to have with my old pair is the lace started to create a pressure point in my left foot. The laces are like wire so it kind of compressed all the cushion after so much use. The new pair seems to be fine.
