Hi all-
I've read good things about the Salomon women's trail running shoes- specifically the XT Whisperer, XT Wings, XA Comp or the SpeedComp. Anyone have any experience with any of these?
I am looking for a neutral, lightweight shoe with some tread. I've run in the Mizuno Ascend 3s for the past three years, which I was very happy with, but the model is getting an upgrade (adding another wave support I believe) for 2010, which feels too "bulky" (the best way I can describe it). I need something that can get me through 30-50ks, river crossings, wet, muddy and rocky terrain. However, I also want something performance-oriented with neutral support; a flexible, relatively lightweight shoe. Does something like that exist!?
As far as using regular road running shoes, I do use these in the summer, when the trails dry out a bit, but with the slippery mud and wet rocks- I like a bit more tread for the winter!
Thanks!
