Salomon XA Pro 3D v9 Trail Running Shoes

Stability, durability and support in a trail running package that's tough enough to take on even the most arduous adventure. The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 needs no introductions, it's an icon amongst icons and is as reliable as it is familiar. Super stable, super tough and now even more grippy and long-term protective, with tailored lug patterns and All-Terrain Contagrip.

Welded Mesh Upper

Welded mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Moving naturally with your foot, the welded upper ensures maximum comfort and unrivalled durability whilst the 3D mesh upper increases airflow to keep you cool. The mesh is extremely breathable and allows a steady airflow to enter and exit the shoe, which will work to remove moisture from sweat out of the shoe. Once sweat is removed, the material will dry off quickly, and cooler air will replace it to keep you feeling comfortable. The material on the upper of the shoe is lightweight, which helps keep the overall weight of the shoe down. Sensifit technology employs welded overlays to wrap the foot in a firm, customised fit; they help anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. A Quicklace System features on the upper which provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort. Completing the XA Pro 3D is a reinforced toe cap to protect your foot from rocks and tree stumps.

EnergyCell Midsole

The XA Pro 3D v9 is made with an EnergyCell midsole that provides energy return and cushioning over the long haul. This multi-functional midsole will provide both comfort and protection, as it has dual-density EVA. Towards the bottom, the EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole. The energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step. The higher you get in the midsole, the EVA becomes packed, which will make every step feel comfortable. The midsole ensures your feet are protected against unpredictable and rocky terrain as you move through the trails. An Ortholite die-cut insole is extremely soft and comfortable and works to wick away moisture keeping the feet cool and dry at all times. Lastly, the midsole has been fitted with Salomon's low-profile Advanced Chassis, which is placed between the outsole and midsole to maximise security, motion control, energy management and push-through protection for a high-performance, stable and responsive ride.

All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole

An updated outsole to their predecessors, the XA Pro 3D V9 features the All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole, providing you with an unmatched level of grip and traction on varied terrain. This rubber outsole has been updated to create unbeatable grip and durability. The outsole provides premium traction on loose terrain ensuring a solid bond between you and the ground. The Contagrip outsole is built for the widest variety of surfaces; it ensures confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces whilst still offering long-term durability so you can go further for longer with complete confidence in your footwear. As well as this, the outsole also features multi-directional lugs which dig deep into the ground when braking or changing direction. The deep lugs can anchor the foot into wet and muddy ground, securing you into place whilst also forming a solid base to push off from.
