Salomon Cross Over 2 GORE-TEX Women's Walking Shoes
The CROSS OVER 2 GORE-TEX wraps the grip and bold design of Salomon's best-selling SPEEDCROSS trail running shoe into an intrepid hiking package. This updated version takes the best of the original and adds more cushioning, grip and waterproof GORE-TEX protection.
GORE-TEX Upper
Just like the Speedcross, these shoes utilise a GORE-TEX membrane, making the Cross Over 2 Walking Shoes a durable, long-lasting walking companion. A GORE-TEX membrane works to keep feet dry and comfortable by preventing water from leaking through the shoes and ensuring feet are ready for the trail ahead. Not only this but the GORE-TEX membrane is highly breathable, which works to keep you cool by supplying your feet with an optimum level of airflow so you're bound to feel fresh throughout the duration of your run. The shoes have a reinforced toecap to prevent tearing and abrasion from occurring, providing you with a long-lasting, reliable pair of shoes, whilst also protecting you from knocks and bumps on the trail. The shoes feature Salomon's Sensifit design with a seamless design, the shoes have a clever construction to provide you with a precise, optimal foothold and comfort. Completing the uppers of the Cross Over 2 are a traditional lacing system, making it exceptionally easy to secure the foot and reduce in-shoe movement.
EnergyCell+ MidsoleSticking to the traditional Speedcross roots, the Cross Over 2 has been created with an EnergyCell+ midsole. EnergyCell+ is a high-rebound midsole technology that delivers substantial cushioning and durability. This midsole compound provides superior cushioning, stability and motion control to provide an efficient, stable and responsive ride. Energycell+ works to provide exceptional energy return by absorbing shocks when the foot strikes the ground and using it to propel you forward in the next step, this works to improve your foot's natural gait. Whilst, superior cushioning is generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. The shoes deliver a 60% reduction in joint force to deliver a great balance of cushioning resiliency and a smooth ride. Increasing underfoot comfort, the shoes include an OrthoLite insole, that provides additional cushioning whilst also being highly breathable and moisture-wicking so you stay cool, dry and comfortable.
Contagrip OutsoleAdorning the outsole is an ultra-grippy Contagrip outsole, providing you with unmatched grip and traction on a range of terrains. This improved compound means the shoes will not only form a solid grip between the shoe and the terrain but will work to shed mud quickly. This is due to their hiking-specific lugs, that will anchor you in place, therefore providing you with the perfect level of grip on all types of terrain, including wet and muddy conditions. This will benefit you by acting as a solid base for you to push off from when taking the next stride, as well as digging into the ground when braking or changing direction.
