- Is the XA Pro 3D good for hiking?
- Yes. It is built for mixed terrain with a protective toe cap, stable platform and grippy outsole. It suits day hikes and light backpacking better than fast, lightweight running.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs narrow, so most buyers go half a size up, especially with thicker socks. Wide-footed shoppers often find it too tight.
- Is it fully waterproof?
- This version has a Gore-Tex membrane, so it keeps feet dry in rain and puddles. It is not a fully submersible boot, and water can still enter over the collar.
- How does it compare with the Hoka Speedgoat?
- The Speedgoat is lighter and more cushioned for running. The XA Pro 3D is more stable, more protective and better in wet weather, but heavier and stiffer.
- Can I use it for trail running?
- Yes, for short to moderate runs on technical ground. Runners who want a light, flexible shoe will find it heavy and stiff.
- What lacing system does it use?
- It uses Salomon's quick-pull lacing, tightened with one pull and tucked into a pocket on the tongue. No tying is needed.
- Where is the Salomon Xa Pro 3D Trail Running Hiking Shoes cheapest?
- At FARFETCH, for $158.00, as of our latest check.
