The Salomon XA PRO 3D GTX is the shoe that refuses to slow you down. Originally designed for trail running, it's become the go-to low-cut hiker for people who want the protection of a waterproof boot without the weight. GORE-TEX keeps your feet dry crossing streams on the Pisgah trails, while the 3D Advanced Chassis™ locks in your foot for precise, confident movement on technical terrain. Jesse Brown's staff reaches for this shoe when they want to cover serious miles without serious weight on their feet.
Why the XA PRO 3D GTX?
- GORE-TEX waterproof membrane — keeps feet dry from outside moisture and breathes to prevent internal sweat buildup
- All Terrain Contagrip® outsole — engineered for wet, dry, hard, and loose surfaces; exceptional grip on the rocky, rooted trails of the Blue Ridge
- 3D Advanced Chassis™ — low-profile plate between outsole and midsole delivers torsional rigidity, motion control, and energy return for a stable, responsive ride
- EnergyCell™ midsole — high-performance EVA foam absorbs shock on descents and returns energy on climbs
- SensiFit™ construction — cradles the foot from midsole to lacing system for a snug, virtually custom fit
- Quicklace™ system — one-pull tightening with integrated lace pocket; easy on, easy off at the trailhead
- Welded upper — stitch-free construction for a smooth, glove-like fit with no hot spots
- Molded OrthoLite® sockliner — contoured cushioning, breathability, and durability for all-day comfort
- 3D open mesh — maximizes breathability without sacrificing structure
