Why We Like The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe

When protection is our chief concern, it's hard to beat the XA Pro trail running shoe—one of Salomon's perennial best sellers. Tough enough to take on the gnarliest trails, it features Salomon's Advanced 3D chassis for stability and motion control while also protecting our feet with sturdy synthetic uppers and a reinforced toe cap. That gives us a stable and durable base while the Contragrip outsole provides us reliable grip on rocks and mixed terrain. For those of us who aren't afraid of sloppy trails or colder weather, this version of the XA Pro features a GORE-TEX membrane for premium weather protection.

Great Shoe! The only one that fits...

We purchase this model shoe time and time again - both the gore tex version and the mesh version. For a narrow foot, it is helpful to have the lace thread across the top of the foot as it does, securing the shoe into place. We will continue to buy these, thank you Salomon for continuing to make this model!

Durable

The only shoe my dad will wear for work. He wears it through mud and dirt. Sole lasts long.

Great overall shoe

This is my 6th pair of Salomons. They have a good feel on the trail giving structure you can rely on. Whether on granite, scrambling, uneven trail, or those steep uphill parts that test your upper legs and stamina, these shoes are there in a way you don't have to think about your footwear while you're trying to do something.

Tough and rugged

I bought these mainly to be able to use to walk the dogs through the winter due to them being waterproof. They hold my feet well and feel really sturdy on off road paths and tracks which is great. They do, however, feel a tad unforgiving on any paved surfaces and the soles do not feel especially cushioned. Perhaps this is the trade off for off road stability…but I would say that I’d find these quite unforgiving to trail run in. They have been completely waterproof so far and don’t feel too hot to wear even when it’s not that cold.

Great but...

I’ve been a big fan of the Salomon brand for years. When it comes to footwear, I’ve owned at least ten different models of your shoes and boots. I currently have the Salomon Quest 4 GTX and the tactical SALOMON QUEST 4D GTX FORCES 2. Unfortunately, the XA PRO 3D V9 has been a real disappointment. After only a few months of mostly urban use, the inner lining at the heel area started to tear, and the Gore-Tex membrane began coming loose and bunching up inside the shoe. The irritation at the heel became so bad that I had to place a small patch inside just to keep wearing them — on shoes only a few months old. The same issue occurred with the non-Gore-Tex version as well (after 3 monts of use), which was another disappointment.

My favorite shoes

I love these shoes and probably have gone through over a dozen pairs. This is my favorite color combo so far!

The V9 is narrower than the V8

I have been using this line of Trail runners for many years and model iterations. Both with and without Goretex. Unfortunately this V9 seems to have gone to a narrower design with cramped my right foot toes. Left side is ok but not the right. Also the narrow design won't let me use my old custom orthopedic implants. Is this the end of the line for me and try a different line/manufacturer? A bit disappointed after all of these years.
