Salomon Xa Pro 3d v9 gtx review: what runners say
Fit
Snug, wraparound fit suited for narrow feet. The quick-lace system allows fast fit adjustments; the upper requires a break-in period.
Feel
Cushioning is present but fairly firm, with solid impact protection. Stable and supportive, not designed for responsiveness.
Durability
High durability: reinforced construction with a protected toe and Contagrip outsole suited for mud, ice, and mixed terrain. Estimated lifespan above the trail category average.
Best for
Long-distance trail running, hiking, and backpacking. Also suitable for everyday urban use. Not recommended for fast technical trails requiring agility.
Weak points
Weight is considered excessive by speed-focused runners. Some users report a step back from the V8 in comfort and fit. The quick-lace system collects mud and can be difficult to release.
