Running shoes Salomon XA PRO 3D V9

The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 is a stable trail shoe designed for hikers and runners who need protection and support on mixed terrain. It works well for day hikes, light fastpacking, and moderate-paced trail running on rocky or technical trails. The firm ride prioritizes stability over speed, making it suitable for those who value durability and foot protection.

The shoe features EnergyCell+ midsole foam with a 3D Advanced Chassis—a TPU frame between the midsole and outsole that provides torsional rigidity and prevents excessive foot movement. It offers neutral support with a firm, protective feel rather than plush cushioning. The synthetic mesh upper includes a rubberized toe cap, Quicklace system for fast adjustment, and available Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing. The Contagrip rubber outsole uses a multi-directional lug pattern for grip on wet, dry, hard, and loose terrain.

Weight is 360g in EU 42.5, with 28.7mm heel and 17.3mm forefoot stack height, and an 11mm drop.
