- Is the XA Pro 3D V9 waterproof?
- This version is not Gore-Tex, so it resists light splashes but not sustained rain. Salomon sells a separate Gore-Tex version of the same shoe.
- How does it compare with the XA Pro 3D V8?
- The V9 keeps the same chassis and Quicklace concept with an updated upper and outsole. It feels similar underfoot, so upgrade mainly for the refreshed fit and materials.
- Is it good for running or better for hiking?
- It works for both, but the weight and 11mm drop suit hiking and fast packing better than tempo trail running. Runners wanting a lighter shoe should look at the Sense Ride line.
- How does the sizing run?
- Most buyers take their usual size, and the Quicklace system lets you adjust volume. Wide-footed wearers often size up half a size.
- What is the drop and stack height?
- It has an 11mm drop with a platform height of about 0.7 inches and a heel height of about 1.1 inches. That is a higher drop than most trail shoes.
- Does it come with the Quicklace system?
- Yes, it ships with Salomon's Quicklace and a lace pocket to tuck the excess cord away.
