'I found the perfect pair of trainers for Christmas and New Year walks I can wear with jeans and leggings'

Sportswear brand brand Salomon, beloved for its 'superb quality' high performance trainers that are 'sturdy enough to endure different terrain' have relaunched its popular women's shoe Salomon XT-Whisper with a new aesthetic and build suitable for both men and women.

While fans of the shoe may know it to have a previously 'softer aesthetic' and 'tweaked build' to fit trail-running for women, the brand explains of the new and improved shoe, £140: "When the trail running shoe was first released, the XT-Whisper was designed for women to make their mark in trail racing.

It was a response to the male-heavy skew of technical trail gear, a redesigned shoe with a softer aesthetic and a tweaked build to suit women’s feet. "Now, the shoe is making a comeback, however, it is no longer a best-in-class trail running shoe.

Neither is it only available for women." Coming in a treetop green mixed with grey and neon yellow, the £140 trainers are a bit of a style statement, marrying fashion and performance beautifully with its wave design.
