Decent shoe but vastly different from Crossmax 1's. If you are looking at getting these because you love your Crossmax 1's you need to pump the brakes and go try them on somewhere first. The sole is 1/2" narrower which effects stability. The lower cut also makes you feel unstable. Sizing is 1/2 size smaller than Crossmax 1. Fits narrower than Crossmax 1. The new style tongue is awkwardly tall and looks kinda lame. It's too different from previous generation to call Crossmax. I run and backpack in Salomons and I would NOT recommend this particular model.

I was fearful ordering this after reading the various reviews, but as a former Crossmax 1 owner, I've not been displeased in the least with the 2. It's a bit stiffer right now, but no more so than I remember the 1. The grip is superior and does appear to have the increased durability it's supposed to. I find the fit to be the same (and I continue to switch back and forth with my 1s--I'm a forefoot striker, so I'm not particularly concerned with mid-sole break down in the rear--just the tread wear up front, which with the 1's is substantial).
I've been on these almost everyday for six weeks now, and I'm happy. I run only on trails, by the way.

Honest reviews on Salomon Men's XR Crossmax 2 Trail Running Shoe
I am a huge fan of Salomon shoes it's the only brand I buy. I fell in love with the orginal Crossmax guidance so when i found out they don't make them anymore i decided to try the crossmax 2. the over all shoe is nice but it fits completely different, it seems to sit a little lower then the previous model so it doesn't seem as snug. So far i've logged about 10 miles on the 2's and they seem to be ok. I don't know why if it ain't broke don't fix it....

The Crossmax 1 was an amazing shoe! This model, corssmax 2, lost depth and volume in comparison to the crossmax 1. My toes were more cramped and it felt like my heel was going to slip out of the shoe. I returned them and went with the XR Mission model which fits more closely to the way the Crossmax 1 did.
