Salomon provided me with the shoes for this review.  Upon opening the box, I instantly love the red/black design.  Other colors are green, black and blue.  Check out the Salomon XR Crossfit website for more info about the shoe.

Falling in love with the bold red color.

The XR Crossfit has seamless upper material called Sensifit.  It provides a stable and snug fit on the shoe.  It is molded and not stitched.

sensiFlex gives a snug fit and relief from bunions.

Look.  No stitches. 

Another interesting feature is the Quicklace.  Compared to traditional laces, Quicklace let’s you wear and fit the shoes quickly.  No need to tie the lace.  My only problem was where to keep the excess lace once you tighten them up.

It looks like the ones in your bags.  Quicklace give you the snug fit in seconds.

Contragrip comes in two variants in the outsole.  A Contragrip HA or high abrasion for areas that get the most wear.  A Contragrip LT or lightweight for areas with lesser ground contact.  But both provides good traction on all surfaces.

A reliable traction for road and trail.

The outsole looks thick but these are made of lightweight material.

OS tendon is the red band that extends from the midfoot to the forefoot.  It provides a guided transition from foot strike to toe-off.  It’s lengthy construction also provides a push or return when the toe is off the ground.

The OS Tendon.  OS means Oversized.

The Salomon XR Crossmax will provide a comfortable ride with Ortholite.

Padded collar provides comfort.  They are not that thick compared to highly cushioned shoes.
