Salomon XR Mission

When you're ready to venture off the concrete in search of something a bit different, try the Salomon Women's XR Mission Trail Running Shoes on a hard-packed dirt path. This lightweight running shoe grabs the ground below so your first foray on the path less traveled doesn't quickly slide into the disaster zone. If you're speedy on selecting shoes, you'll find a rainbow of colors from which to choose to put some funk in your foot fun, even if woodland animals can't see colors. Or can they?

Nylon mesh uppers let you feet breath while synthetic overlays offer some support. An EVA Ortholite insole comes out if you prefer custom inserts. Just one tug and the Quicklace system snugs the shoe to your foot for a secure fit as you traverse variable terrain. To ease your transition from city streets to forested trails, the 11mm heel-forefoot drop ensures your gait pattern doesn't change with the ground conditions.

The Lightweight Muscle chassis lets you take this shoe on mild trails and through your neighborhood with ease. In the medial midsole, compressed EVA stands guard against your foot collapsing from sheer excitement of being in the dirt. From the back of your heel to the tip of your toes, the injection-molded EVA midsole helps you bound along the trail like a happy bunny. The TPU toe cap protects your tootsies from endorphin-fueled enthusiasm. The Contagrip sole blends toothy trail-tearing lugs with a spit of street-friendly ribs.
