Salomon Spring 2012 footwear manifests the minimalist -faster-lighter credo of running shoes with new, colorful entries in the trail, light backpacking (day-weekend hikes), and all around shoes.
The thought patterns throughout-multi directional and natural motion-with just enough propulsion to release energy and protect on mountain terrain...dynamic cushioning for shock absorption-and ultimately recover faster...with a host of proprietary technology:
Sensifit™-cradles the foot-for stabile, precise snug fit all around instep...
Quicklace™-easy on/off
Sensiflex™-controlled forefoot collapse-a stretch panel with a TPU overlay that supports natural foot expansion in the upper foot (smart!)-adopting to foot's needs when needed.
Contragrip® a mix between density. compound and geometry to optimize grip and durability for the specific terrain and activity...via different outsoles.
