Salomon Women's X Ultra 360 vs Salomon XA Pro 3D v9 GTX
Both are Salomon stability shoes with Contagrip outsoles, but they serve different buyers. The X Ultra 360 is the lighter, more flexible day-hiking shoe with a quicklace system and recycled textile upper. The XA Pro 3D v9 GTX adds a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, deeper 3.5 mm lugs and a burlier chassis, so it suits wet, rocky trails and multi-season use. Owners rate both highly; the X Ultra 360 scores slightly higher on comfort out of the box, while the XA Pro 3D v9 GTX wins on weather protection and durability.
- Choose the X Ultra 360 if you want a light, breathable day-hiking shoe for easy paths and mixed terrain in dry conditions.
- Choose the XA Pro 3D v9 GTX if you hike or run technical, rocky trails in wet weather and need a waterproof shoe that takes abuse.
