The specially designed aggressively lugged Contagrip Winter Mud and Snow sole has 9 tungsten spikes embedded in it for extra traction on icy ground. The whole shoe is covered by a lightweight gaiter over- boot to provide protection to your ankle and to reduce the ingress of water and snow. The front of the shoe features Salomon’s own waterproof Climashield membrane, this does not make the boot completely waterproof but adds protection to the vulnerable toe area when running in the cold and wet. The heel area of the boot is unprotected leaving it to breathe more freely. This construction is the perfect balance between weather protection and breathability. Sensifit and Quiklace systems provide outstanding internal support without uncomfortable lace pressure over the foot. Lightweight Muscle Chassis offers cushioning and support for harder surfaces, but this shoe is definitely not designed for road use.
The Speedcross has firmly established itself as the definitive trail running shoe; providing outstanding grip, control and comfort. The uppers are made from a lightweight synthetic material that has minimal water uptake keeping the shoe light and quick drying even when it’s horrendous underfoot. Breathability is enhanced with a mesh construction over the foot that allows air flow and water to drain away quickly, be under no illusion that these shoes are in any way waterproof. To ensure your foot is held securely in the shoe especially when traversing slippery slopes, Salomon have the external Sensifit and Quicklace systems. These two systems work in tandem to clamp your foot in place without uncomfortable lace pressure. Excess lace tucks neatly away into the tongue pocket so they won’t snag and come loose. Whilst the Speedcross is designed primarily as a trail running shoe it will cope with short sections of hard pack thanks to the moulded EVA Light Weight Muscle Chassis and internal cushioning. Exceptionally comfortable, super grippy and lightweight, no wonder it’s our best selling trail running shoe.

The La Sportiva C-Lite (Crosslite) is a technical off road running shoe that is perfect for a variety of terrain from hard packed forest tracks to boggy mountains. It features an aggressively lugged sole unit that deforms upon impact to provide a degree of cushioning. The sole also features the impact brake system where the lugs of the sole are oriented in opposing slanted directions to increase braking forces by 20% and decrease impact forces by 20%, this really makes a difference when descending to reduce fatigue and impact. The midsole is a low profile affair to provide stability and sensitivity but does offer some cushioning in the form of a very lightweight dual density EVA and SBR insert; stability and impact protection is maintained by a Nylon moulded lasting board with a high tensile rock guard to...guard against rocks! You are held superbly inside the C-Lite with very little movement thanks to the woven nylon Airmesh uppers that feature an integral scree guard that covers the lace area and helps to lock your foot into place. The fabric of the uppers are also treated with Uretech, this is a mixture of sand, rubber and glue that is applied to fabric to provide a lightweight, abrasion resistant coating that is flexible and mouldable. The C-Lite is not waterproof but breathes superbly and works on the principle that you wont care how wet your feet get and that the water can drain out easily so the shoes dry quickly.
