Salomon XT Wings WP Shoe - Men's

Item #SAL1302 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Warm, but absolutely unbeatable ankle support in a low-top

By Ranked #397 - Men's Trail Run Shoes November 26, 2008

I have a bad right ankle; which is to say that I have permanent ligament damage. I have hunted for many months to find a sole wide enough to make certain that my ankle does not roll outwards (supinate)

These things fit the bill. Remarkable really, but the wings at the sole are about a third again wider than the base of your heel. This pyramid type of transition effectively rights rolling ankles for you. Very pleased.

Caution: the WP versions do not break in as well as the non-WP, at least not in the upper. Unless you plan to have wet feet from running through frost or dew or snow, I would get the non-WP version, or wait for the S-Lab version (about 100 some grams lighter than the non WP, 200 grams lighter than WP)
