Salomon Xa Pro 3d v9

Salomon Xa Pro 3d v9 review: what runners say

Fit

Quick-lace system allows precise tightening. Suits narrow feet; some users coming from the V8 report a different and less satisfying fit.

Feel

Cushioning is present but on the firm side, with good lateral stability from the 3D chassis. The upper requires a break-in period before softening.

Durability

Sturdy construction built for high mileage on mixed trail and backpacking. Contagrip outsole with claimed effectiveness on mud, ice, and wet surfaces.

Best for

Moderate-pace trail running, hiking, and long-distance backpacking. Not ideal for fast runners or technical trails demanding responsiveness.

Weak points

Above-average weight penalizes those seeking responsiveness. The quick-lace system collects mud and can jam. Some runners report a step back from the V8 in terms of comfort.
