Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 Men's Trail Running Shoes

Stability, durability and support in a trail running package tough enough to take on even the most arduous adventure. The XA PRO 3D V9 is 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 upper ensures maximum comfort and unrivalled durability whilst the 3D mesh increases airflow to keep you cool. The mesh is extremely breathable, allows a steady airflow to flow, and will work to remove moisture. Once sweat is removed, the material will dry off quickly, and cooler air will replace it to keep you comfortable. The material on the upper is lightweight to help keep the overall weight down, allowing you to push on and go faster. 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, while a protective toe cap helps protect your foot from rocks and tree stumps. Completing the upper is a quickLACE System, which provides a minimalistic and strong lace for a one-pull tightening, ensuring you get the shoes on and off with minimal effort.

EnergyCell+ Midsole

The XA Pro 3D v9 has an EnergyCell+ midsole that provides high energy return and substantial 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 will also be returned as a rebound, giving spring to your step. The higher you get in the midsole, the EVA becomes less dense, which will make every step feel comfortable. The midsole ensures feet are protected against unpredictable and rocky terrain as you move through the trails. 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 and energy management for a stable and responsive ride.

All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole

An updated outsole to their predecessors, the XA Pro 3D V9 still has an All-Terrain Contagrip Outsole, providing an unmatched level of grip and traction on varied terrain. The full rubber 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 offering long-term durability so you can go further for longer with complete confidence in your footwear. 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 in place whilst forming a solid base to push off from.
