Description

Plenty of support over a lightweight frame.

For those about to pound out a challenging short- to middle-distance training run, The Salomon Men's XR Mission Trail Running Shoe is begging to come along for the ride. Featuring a stretchy, highly breathable mesh upper and Salomon's unique Quicklace system, this trainer delivers a custom-like fit from mile one to infinity. A set semi-rigid OS Tendon bars set into the length of the sole encourage efficient and powerful foot roll, while multi-density sole materials maximize traction on just about any surface that you encounter.
  • Sensiflex construction creates a secure lateral hold on your foot inside the shoe while also stretching to adapt to the width of your forefoot
  • Contagrip LT uses lightweight sole materials to offer superior forefoot grip and traction
  • Contagrip HA uses more abrasion-resistant sole material to offer increased support and durability
  • Two semi-rigid bars run from the mid-foot to forefoot to create the OS Tendon structure, which improves heel-to-toe roll through your foot strike
  • Ortholite sockliner combines moisture-wicking fabric with an EVA heel cup to provide support, control, and keep your feet cool
  • Quicklace lacing provides even, one-pull tightening down the length of your shoe and won't loosen or come undone mid-stride

I have had several pairs of Techamphibian and loved them. I bought this shoe based on my love of those. Too bad, as almost everyone warned the shoe is too narrow and I can barely walk to end of the street without needing to take them off. I will not go through hassle of return but shoe is pretty bad. I bought them for Tough Mudder and decided to wear old asics instead. I think I may replace insole with asics to see if that helps. A lot of need feature, but if your feet hurt within the first mile that gets 1-star. Sorry Solomon. Love the laces though.

Got these for the hubs for Christmas, he's only used them a few times but so far he's liking them. He sized up half a size and he said they fit well.

Light weight, breathable, good grip. Shoe fits a wider foot well, as it had a good wide base. lacks some in the arch support, but provides good cushioning without over doing it.

I loved the fit of these shoes... snug in the heel, wide forefoot, huge arch support. But, I found the 20-10 heel drop excessive ? more so that shoes with similar specs. When I ran in them it sort of always felt like I had a huge chunk of mud stuck to the bottom of my foot. Just thick and bulky. Oh well, they look awesome in my unprofessional opinion.

these have a super high arch, which fits my feet well. 90% of the time I love these shoes, the other 10% I hate them. The have the tendency to create really bad hot spots and blisters on my instep. I know several other XR Mission owners with the same issue. Blister's occurred on runs over 10miles. All in all I love the support of this shoe. Oh on a side note the rubber on this shoe is much more slick than other salomon trail shoes, I do a lot of scrambling in my runs and these were kinda scary.

Okay I break these in on a few short runs and like em just fine. The third run is a long mountain run and the lace breaks. WTF Salomon. second time this has happened bit the first time the shoe was at its end of its life. But this time the shoe had about 15 miles on it.

Can these XR missions be used for half and even maybe a full marathon???? On Pavemant???

Sure. Of any Salomon, these are the ones that handle pavement the best. Is it that you like the fit of salomon versus a road-specific shoe? A lower profile road shoe will save you some weight.

Despite being close to school colors I actually bought these since I heard the lacing is comprable/better than the boa's on the North Face. After a few weeks of hiking and running I can say I love these. After 4 TNF shoes in a row I haven't had any regrets moving to these. They are great for me since I am pretty neutral and they provide great support for a recovery ankle.

We're stiff at first, but they broke in quite well. They have already been through multiple different terrains, and so far I'm love in them.

When I first got these, they felt a little stiff compared to my road runners, but, after wearing them around for a bit, I competed in a duathalon that involved mud, water, trail running, mountain climbing and biking... these saved me - they were great on the trail, and in the water. Wish I had worn thinner socks, but, the shoes themselves were great for the run. No blisters, no aches, everything they say they do - they do!

Awesome

It's definitely personal choice, but the weight and cushioning of these leans toward shorter events/runs.

Sandy, please elaborate why you think weight/cushioning of these lean towards shorter runs, compared to other Salomon shoes such as its cousin, Crossmax neutral

Salomon Sizing: I currently run in a size 9, New Balance MT110s (no socks).. and 9.5 in my Brooks PureForm, and road trainers. Do the XR Mission's run true to size? Also, what does Salomon consider short to medium distances? Thanks in advance

Connor Bruson

I've found that Salomons run a tad small. I wear either 10's or 10.5's in all shoes, but a 10.5 in Salomons works best for me. For you, I'd say the 9.5 would be a good choice.
I think this is a short to medium distance model because they don't have any sort of pronation control or stability plate such as in XT or XA models. They have excellent cushion and forward momentum, though, so I dont think they would be a problem on longer runs.

Tried these new Salomon's. Loved the previous ones I've had. Bought these because of the colors and not disappointed. Super comfortable and light weight. Love the speed lacing also.

These shoes are pretty awesome! I bought them to use for shorter runs / crossfit type training. After my first session I'm convinced I picked the right shoes. They are light, supportive and feel great on. They run true to size. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend these shoes.
