Salomon S LAB XA AMPHIB are super airy men's trail running shoes. They are perfect for people practicing swimrun, thanks to their low weight they give a feeling of lightness in the water. Designed for performance and speed on land and in water, thanks to the mesh that perfectly drains water.

The EndoFit™ system inside the shoe wraps the foot like a sock, preventing it from shifting and ensuring a precise fit. The familiar, simple and durable Quicklace™ lacing system is also used, allowing for quick adjustment with one stroke of the laces.
The midsole is based on the EnergyCell™+ technology, it is a combination of materials with high rebound properties, guaranteeing an exceptional level of energy return as well as excellent cushioning and durability. In addition, the Profeel Film is designed to protect the foot from damage on rocky, sharp surfaces, ensuring comfort and stability.

Technologies:
SENSIFIT™: One of the best technologies of precise shoe fitting to the runner's foot. Thanks to a special system of belts, it guarantees perfect support of the foot, from the midfoot (midsole) to the eyelets on the instep. As a result, footwear equipped with the SensiFit system is characterized by exceptional stability, running safety and extremely precise adaptation to the user's foot.
QUICKLACE™: A simple yet strong lacing system. It allows you to quickly adjust the shoes, comfortably putting on and taking off shoes. Salomon's patented Quicklace™ system with a kevlar lacing, no tying required usually comes with a special pocket located on the tongue of the shoe, which allows you to hide the excess of one-piece laces. Quicklace™ allows the shoe to be laced up quickly, easily and securely, so that the laces will never come loose or loosen.
ENDOFIT ™ SYSTEM: The flagship technology of Salomon, based on a special, seamless "sock" mounted inside the shoe, which precisely surrounds the foot and prevents it from moving. It guarantees perfect contact between the foot and the shoe and additionally improves the speed and precision of reaction.
PROFEEL FILM: A special insole made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) installed between the midsole and the outer sole of Salomon shoes. The Profeel Film insole protects the foot against damage on rocky, sharp surfaces, and also provides great comfort and stability to roll the foot on difficult terrain, while maintaining a good feeling of the ground. Profeel Film connects, in a way, the front and rear part of the shoe, ensuring optimal stiffening of the structure along its entire length.
CONTAGRIP® TA: A new version of the sole of Salomon shoes, designed for maximum grip on loose, soft or rough and uneven ground. It has deep, sharp tread pins made of a material that combines durability and grip.
ENERGYCELL+™: An innovative, ultra-light and very soft cushioning foam by Salomon, which guarantees effective shock absorption and supports a more dynamic rebound. The midsole made of EnergyCell+™ foam is most often placed in the soles of Salomon trail shoes. It is characterized by high elasticity and perfectly reflects some of the energy accumulated when the foot hits the ground, thanks to which the kick from the metatarsus becomes even more effective and more dynamic.
SKIN GUARD™: A special construction of the upper of Salomon running shoes, using an innovative mesh with injected thermoplastic polyurethane, which increases the durability of the material. Skin Guard™ also provides better protection in sensitive areas of the runner's foot.
