The XT-Wings 2 Advanced is a lightweight model designed to give you superior protection no matter the activity. High abrasion resistant mesh is used on the upper, which is then covered with a TPU film to serve as an added layer of protection for movement throughout more rugged landscapes. Below, you’ll find a ProFeel Film that guards the foot from jagged rocks and other debris on the ground.

In recent years, however, the French sporting goods brand has gained crossover appeal among the fashion elite. You’re now just as likely to see Salomon sneakers on the streets as you are on the trails.
