- Is the XA Pro 3D V9 Wide actually waterproof?
- No. This version uses a mesh and synthetic upper without a Gore-Tex membrane, so it resists light splashes but soaks through in sustained rain or stream crossings.
- How does the Wide fit compare with the standard XA Pro 3D V9?
- It adds volume through the forefoot and midfoot for wider feet or thicker socks. Shoppers with average-width feet usually stay with the standard version.
- Is it good for running or better for hiking?
- It can handle trail running, but at 12.1 oz with an 11 mm drop it is better suited to hiking, fastpacking and mixed-terrain walking than to pace work.
- Does it need a break-in period?
- Yes. Owners describe it as stiff and firm at first, with the ride softening after several outings.
- What drop and stack does it have?
- It has an 11 mm heel-to-toe drop, a 1.1-inch heel height and a 0.7-inch platform height.
- What lacing system does it use?
- Salomon's quick-pull lacing, which tightens and loosens with one pull and tucks into a pocket on the tongue.
