Salomon Raid Race 2 Trail Running Shoe - Men's
The Salomon Raid Race II Running Shoe offers an excellent blend of lightweight breathability and external frame supported durability. If you're into trail running and creating your own adventures, the Raid Race gives you enough support and traction but won't slow you down with weight. Salomon's External Sensifit system works to cradle the foot, providing a precise fit and secure foot hold. Salomon's patented ContaGrip sole separates Salomon running footwear from the competition. ContaGrip consists of three types of rubber, each with a different durometer, maximizing bite and stickiness without compromising durability.

Very supportive, comfortable shoe
I bought a pair of Salomon Raid Race 2’s for fast packing (i.e. backpacking with a lightweight pack). It was a great call. These trail running shoes offer really good support and a well-built sole. I bravely broke them out of the box and headed right out on a 17-mile trek. At the end of the day my feet felt great. Salomon has been at this for a while and they make a great shoe.
Salomon Raid Race 2 shoes
Having recently bought a pair of Salomon Raid Race 2 shoes, I used them last weekend "straight out of the box" to run a 40 km mountain run (in the Alps of the South Island - New Zealand) with several river crossings and snow under foot during part of the run. They proved yet again (I have previously owned a pair of the earlier Raid Race) to be extremely comfortable and supportive over very rough terrain. A great off-road shoe for any conditions.
nice trail runners/ do it alls
I'm on my third pair of Raid Race 2's. They're the best shoe I've found in the market for everyday/adventure hiking....5 stars from me.
Nice!
I am avid trail runner and these shoes do exactly what I was looking for. They provide great support and a quality ventilation system to keep your feet cool even in the hottest of days. A must for someone looking for a quality trail shoe.
Amazing shoes
These are the best trail running shoes I have ever used. I run super technical long-distance trails/mountains, between 50-100 miles a week. These shoes have improved my performance dramatically, especially on muddy/frozen trails. My usual chronic plantar and ankle pains have disappeared thanks to the stable, supportive platform. I hope Salomon does not change them.

Training Tips
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
