Why We Like The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe
When protection is our chief concern, it's hard to beat the XA Pro trail running shoe—one of Salomon's perennial best sellers. Tough enough to take on the gnarliest trails, it features Salomon's Advanced 3D chassis for stability and motion control while also protecting our feet with sturdy synthetic uppers and a reinforced toe cap. That gives us a stable and durable base while the Contragrip outsole provides us reliable grip on rocks and mixed terrain. For those of us who aren't afraid of sloppy trails or colder weather, this version of the XA Pro features a GORE-TEX membrane for premium weather protection.

This is a versatile and well-liked shoe for outdoor activities, praised for its comfort, lightweight construction, and good stability and support. The waterproof Gore-Tex material is a key feature.

Disappointing quality
I bought a pair in early March 2025 and since then walked ~300km in them, mostly urban terrain. Already two strap holders (not sure whether this is the correct term) are torn and soon I’ll lose about two more. No idea why. I never excessively tighten the straps, and even if, I’d expect them to be more durable. The problem is these strap holders can’t be repaired, so the shoes eventually become useless. I was expecting better quality from Salomon.

Reliable, Durable, and Ready for Anything
The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GORE-TEX shoes are top-tier for hiking and trail running. Great fit, excellent grip, and totally waterproof — they’ve handled rain, rocks, and mud with no problem. The Quicklace system is super convenient, and they feel stable and supportive on any terrain. Durable and dependable. Highly recommend!

Durable Comfortable, and Waterproof!
I purchased these shoes to work outside in various conditions and terrains. I walk and average of 18,000 steps a day. I’ve walked in the rain, through the mud, and through wet grass and have yet to have gotten my feet wet.

Happy feet
I have worn Salomon shoes for over 10 years and these are the pinnacle of their development. I bought an extra pair in a non goretex funky colour Brilliant experience. I must mention the amazing team at covent garden/ Long acre.. Absolutely joyous experience... They are all great , but Marta helped me directly. Her knowledge and recommendations really helped it become a brilliant interaction.

Necessity for daily physical activities
This shoe is great in the gym and on walks or hikes. The fast lacing system is so good, I don't want a shoe without it. With the gore tex, it makes these shoes easy to clean. Just wash them off and as long as you don't saturate the inside of the shoe you can wear them immediately. Hold the shoe upside down and run water over the sole, allowing it to run over the sides. Possibly use a brush and a light hand soap. Towel dry and you are good to go. The V9 does run a bit narrow in the toe area than the older V7 so I ordered one half size up and the fit is better. I may go one full size up next time. Also, I haven't tried the wide version, so maybe that would be a better option.

Superb comfort and stylish too!
Excellent shoe! Is it a trainer for the gymn, or a casual for around town, or even a trail shoe? Truth is, it's all of the above and more, given the smart black colour, makes them work-wear friendly, and the tread is excellent, so a proper all-rounder! I may have, (at last) found my 'perfect' all round trail shoe! The gortex option works well for me, without being overly sweaty as other brands I have owned can be, if anything, these are the best all-round trainers I have ever owned, (and I have owned a fair few... including many of Salomon's!)
