Reflecting the rocky terrain of rugged mountain trails, the XT-SLATE ADVANCED from Salomon is a foray into the disruptive interpretations of volume. Crafted with a single-layer mesh, the waffled upper protects your feet while keeping debris out thanks to its tight-knit Anti-debris system. A Quicklace™ system and storage compartment track the tongue while a custom fit Ortholite™ insole provides unrivaled cushioning. Underfoot, we find an EnergyCell midsole shrouded in a translucent Agile Chassis™ Skeleton that works to provide stability, while underfoot a reverse lug Contagrip™ outsole provides traction no matter the weather.
