Salomon XA Discovery GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes

A protective yet flexible trail shoe for fast hiking and some running. A lighter, more flexible version of the iconic XA Pro, XA DISCOVERY GORE-TEX is incredibly comfortable for any outdoor adventure. Hike, explore, run, this shoe feels great and offers confident grip and protection.

GORE-TEX Upper

3D mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; it supplies a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. A Sensifit system cradles the foot providing a precise and secure fit whilst a Quick Lacing System provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort. A lace pocket is useful as it allows the laces to be stowed away making sure the laces do not get caught or snagged on any sticks or bushes out on the trail, reducing distractions. Completing the upper of the XA Discovery are reinforced areas which protect your feet from rugged, loose terrain.

EnergyCell Midsole

The EnergyCell is a rebound midsole compound that provides fantastic energy return whilst remaining cushioning, comfortable, and durable, enhancing your performance whilst ensuring you can go further for longer. The midsole uses the compressed EVA that is extended in the entire midsole to deliver underfoot cushioning. Injected EVA is the main component of the midsole which offers lightweight flexibility. It actively reduces forces pressed upon the underfoot for a smooth stride through the transition with ample shock dispersion. Developed using the XA pro last, the XA Discovery ensures confidence on unstable or uneven ground. Known as one of the biggest sock liner companies in the world, Ortholite provides the shoe with an extremely soft and comfortable sock liner which also works to wick away moisture keeping the feet within the shoe dry.

Premium Wet Traction Contagrip Rubber

The XA XA Discovery utilises Salomon's latest Premium Wet Traction Contragrip rubber compound. The lugs are highly separated to help facilitate responsiveness, grip, and allows for a more efficient mud and snow release. The Premium Wet Traction rubber is more than a technology, it's a mentality. You can simply ignore slippery terrain and charge ahead. Contagrip MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces; it ensures confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces whilst still offering long-term durability. Full premium wet traction grip is more than a technology, it's a mentality; you can simply ignore wet ground and charge ahead.
