Brand New Salomon Footwear For Spring/Summer 2012!

If you follow us on Twitter and Facebook you may have seen we had a rather sizable delivery of Salomon Footwear arrive at our warehouse at the back end of last week. So we've stocked up on all your favourites like the XA Pro range but we've also got some shiny brand new stock in as well!

We thought we'd give you a little run down of the newest pieces in our Salomon range, included the update of the absolutely legendary Cosmic 4D GTX Boot.

First to roll into the station is the Salomon XR Mission Trainers. The immediate thing that hits you is the Mission's eye catching design. The men's version comes in the exuberant colour of Bright Blue/Tomato Red/Pop Green and the women's model comes in the quite literal Very Purple/Black/Light Onix. So that's the colours out the way, let's dig into the meat of the shoe. Designed as an all terrain 'short to middle distance' training shoe the XR Mission has been built with protection and comfort in mind. On the front you've got a protective TPU toe cap to keep your tootsies safe from rockier surfaces. Working our way into the inner sanctum of the trainer, it has a molded EVA midsole, compressed EVA midsole and OS Tendon. These features really highlight the shoes trail running capabilities, with ample underfoot protection and cushioning, so a muddy gravel track shouldn't present itself as an obstacle to your training regime!

As well as packing a punch with it's technical interior the XR Mission trainers also include some of Salomon's ever so handy smaller features. The Quicklace system allows you to lace up in a flash. The first worry that I had with my own pair of Quicklacing Salomon's was where exactly to put the excess lacing chord when they had been done up. Salomon however have preempted this problem and have provided a discreet lace pocket pouch in the top of the tongue so you can tidily pack away the laces without the worry of having them getting caught and frayed while your out and about. The lace eyelet itself is friction free too, so your first pair of laces should last you for a rather prolonged period of time!

As promised, let's have gander at the new Salomon Cosmic 4D 2 GTX Boot! The unique property of this boot is it's makeup, take a trail running shoe and a walking boot, morph them together and you have the Cosmic! It's construction means it's equally at home being worn for a pleasant hike in the hills or for faster paced use on the trail.

The Cosmic 4D 2 GTX features a molded EVA midsole and 4D advanced chassis for fantastic cushioning and shock absorbency. Underneath the boot features a non marking contragrip sole, which provides excellent traction on slippy or loose surfaces. The Cosmic has been made with a waterproof bootie construction, so there's no need to fear the odd puddle or dozen! Because the Cosmic has been designed so you can use it on the trail, extra protection is always needed, and the boots protective rubber heel cap and rubber toe cap keeps your feet safe and sound if you happen to venture out into harder terrains.

We've got the new Men's Cosmic in stock in two colours; Asphalt/Black/Tomato Red and S Green/TT/Black. The new Cosmic retails at £170, but we've got it with 10% off at £152.99! In the Women's model we have the subtle but stylish colour of Light TT/Black/Score Blue.

Like I mentioned further up the post, we've also replenished the rest of all your favourite Salomon Footwear, including Kids trainers and boots!
