- Is the Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane, and owners report dry feet in rain, wet grass and shallow puddles. Water can still enter over the collar in deep water.
- How does it fit compared with other Salomon trail shoes?
- It runs roomier in the toe than Salomon's speed-oriented trail shoes and comes in normal and wide widths. Most buyers take their usual size.
- Is it good for hiking or only trail running?
- It works for both, but its weight and firm support suit hiking and walking better than fast running. Runners wanting a lighter shoe should look at Salomon's Sense or Speedcross lines.
- Does it need breaking in?
- The sole and upper are fairly stiff when new. Most owners find a few short walks soften it, and the padded collar and Ortholite insole limit rubbing.
- Can I wash it in a machine?
- No. Salomon lists it as not washable. Clean mud with a brush and lukewarm water and let it air dry away from direct heat.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the quick-lace system already fitted. Spare laces are not included.
