XA Pro 3D V9 Trail Running Trainers

Very comfortable cushioning vented mesh top works even in San Antonio summer heat. Not exactly a rugged terrain shoe but great for paved and flat terrain. Wears out quickly ~6 months of daily use tops.

I started hiking/backpacking about 20 years ago, and tried many different brands, and they almost all gave me blisters. Then around 2015, I tried the XA pro, and I loved how light they were; roomy but comfortable for my feet (which are a little wide), but the best part was not only how stiff and sturdy the soles are, but they STAY stiff, which is great, not only for keeping traction on very rocky/uneven terrain, but also for supporting my feet over miles and miles. They're also very durable, so even after a season hiking, when the treads start to wear down, I can buy a new pair, then keep an the old pair for mountain biking shoes, or just general knockaround shoes.

I think this makes my fourth pair of this model of shoe. I’ve hiked 100s of miles in them both with a pack and without and they are comfortable and hold up well.

A good sturdy shoe that comes clean after muddy runs.

Third pair of Salomon's, and they keep getting better- love the quick tie system, lightweight, amazing confort, and stylish enough to wear to most stores and restaurants

I'm a big guy and I'm glad I found this pair. They're comfortable and at the same time firm support. I need to try it with hiking socks.

I bought these in October and by March the inside heals had both worn out to the outer shell. I didn't wear them a great deal which makes it even worse that they didn't last that long.

The foot bed (or insole) is not robust or shaped well enough to engage the foot fully and keep it in position within the shoe. The result is that the foot slides forward into the toe box, and the toes get forced into the toe cap and get stubbed and bleed or break the toe nail. I've tried lacing extra tight but still happens, particularly on downhill trails. I recommend Salomon beef up the insole to truly engage the foot sufficiently to hold the foot in position. Also, the height (or thickness) of the toe box is far too thick/tall (roomy) which exacerbates the above problem. Due to the excess thickness in that area the upper deforms and wrinkless when the laces are tight.

Have had over 10 pairs of these. usually love them, however this time right out of the box first try on one of the lace holes popped out. I send everything in for the warranty and it has been radio silence. very disappointed!

I purchased this shoes for mountain hiking. This shoes are comfortable, Stable and very comfortable. I will recommend the shoes to anyone. After several hikes issues look brand new.

I have been buying Salomon trail shoes for over twenty years, they are great.

I had a pair I used for trail running. Liked them so much I got a pair for work where I stand on concrete all day. They are well cushioned, but not so much that you don’t feel connected with the ground. Treads are very grippy. Super easy to take on and off. All around most functional shoes I’ve ever owned.

This shoe is great to wear all day. Holds up well after months of daily wear

I have been wearing the XAPro for years both the regular and the goretex one in the winter or when in the wet I wear the sides out because of the way I walk so I need good support and these do the job for me.
