The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GTX is a technical trail shoe that is suitable for challenging trail routes. Trail runs with many elevation meters and challenging surfaces such as muddy paths and routes with many boulders. Adventure awaits with this trail shoe, ready to accompany you on rough surfaces! Midsole During longer trail runs you can comfortably cover kilometers with the EnergyCell+ foam, a soft foam that provides a lot of energy return due to the good cushioning that the shoe offers. The 3D Advanced Chassis is a sturdy frame that is located between the midsole and outsole. The frame protects the lower foot, optimizes your movement control and ensures a more stable walking gait. The frame provides a stable base for the foot, which is especially important when moving on uneven terrain in nature. It helps stabilize the foot and reduces the risk of sprains or injuries. Upper The XA PRO 3D GTX has an upper that makes you trail-ready. Regardless of the planned adventure, the shoe will be protected against rain and mud by the Gore-Tex membrane. The toe part of the shoe is also extra reinforced to protect your toes during your run through nature. Finally, the shoes are equipped with the Quicklace lacing system, so your laces will never come loose while running. You also no longer have to worry about laces that can get stuck in branches while running. Outsole To ensure mega-grip, this model has the Contagrip All Terrain outsole so you can walk on any trail without a doubt. The sole offers optimal grip, both on wet, loose surfaces and on dry and hard surfaces. The sole adapts to any surface without sacrificing grip, a real all-rounder.
