Customer Reviews Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX®

I use these for hiking, and also construction work. I love the maneuverability, waterproof, and the automatic laces are super convenient for me! Seems durability might have gone down a little, not sure, but thats the only reason for four stars. I often wear a size 13, but for these I get a 14 and the fit is real nice.

The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 Gore-Tex is an outstanding trail running and hiking shoe!

I have been purchasing Solomon boots for work for approximately the last 10 years. The last several pairs I bought have all fallen apart in relatively short time. The last pair I bought in the first week of wearing them, while lacing them up, a eyelit popped out. Contacting Solomon customer service to get a replacement pair was a nightmare. They eventually sent me a coupon code for the value of the shoes to order a different pair with free shipping, however, the discount code they gave me did not include free shipping so after calling customer service back, they told me I would have to pay the shipping and then submit a claim to be reimbursed for it. I am done with Solomon products.

Design and customer service has declined rapidly. My shoes came apart on top with low usage. They declined to warranty because I was 3 months past. I have been a customer for 30 years but Salomon is making cheaply manufactured shoes now.

Nice and comfortable, but one of the shoelace eyelets broke off.

Love the shoes holds up great!! I work in the restaurant industry and they hold up great

I've had 2foot surgeries in the last 5 years and these are the only shoes I can put on in the morning and wear all day without any foot pain. It is also my 3rd pair!

Own a pair of the XA Pro 3D V8 in a wide fit and they are significantly wider than these. Don't know why Salomon have produced a wide fit shoe which is so much narrower than previous versions. Surely the whole point of a wide fit version is to accommodate a wider foot. Or perhaps I am confused.....

Hello, my previous Salomon shoes were the same as xa pro. I advise. I had another brand of shoes and the sides were torn. Even though it was a factory defect, they did not replace it. I congratulate and thank Salomon.

These are true to size with the wide version. Vary light weight and comfortable shoes. I like the lacing zipper and the design

Bought similar shoe from Salomon before, they are very comfortable to walk in regardless of terrain, really good grip and the Gore-Tex is worthwhile having, especially when its wet. I'd certainly recommend, but I always have to get the wide fit size 10, despite have a narrow size 9 foot.

Received product in acceptable time. Black color. Appear to be just what I would expect. Have only worn a few times. Satisfied. No complaints.

Insoles are too thin to insulate bottom of my feet from feeling the tread pattern when walking on hard surfaces. Shoes need more insulation between tread and insole like the X Ultra 04 hiking shoes that I previously owned.

This is my 3rd pair and love the unique lacing system and look

The best waterproof hiking shoes out. Been wearing Solomon shoes for a long time now and buy fair they have the best Gore Tex. Tried other brands and they don't compare.

I wear these daily so comfy and good on any trail/surface.

I bought wide fit for trekking 3 weeks ago. I had them on for a couple of mountains. Best shoes ever. Perfectly fit and very comfortable. Feels like my feet are in a soft bag.

I bought the V9 because I wanted a waterproof trail shoe for my true 2E feet. Because I had tried many shoes without satisfaction (Icebug and all of REI's offerings), I was willing to risk the V9 in spite of it having a quick-lacing system. After five months, this is what I have learned: ++ The Quicklace is superb! I just pull (on the handle) and tuck (into the tongue pouch). I have also not experienced the dreaded big toe pressure (where the lace crosses above the big toe) that others have reported with other quick-lacing designs. + Good balance between protection and feedback from the outer sole - Contagrip is so-so on wet wood/roots - Heel fit is modest. The sensation is of my heels pulling out a mm or two before every step. I'm used to a near-perfect fit with my other trail shoes. The V9's heel fit reminds me of the fit with hiking boots, but slightly better. I suspect that the close fit in the forefoot (see the next section) exacerbates the sensation that my heels are pulling out. -- This is not a 2E out of the box. I'd rate it a does-not-exist 1E. Even though I expect any new shoe's upper to stretch to fit, my other 2Es (Nike and New Balance) conformed more closely to my feet out of the box. I don't regret buying the V9. It certainly is the best of all the waterproof 2E shoes I tried. I just hope that it's built to be durable in terms of continuing to be waterproof and that the glued parts stay glued.

A lot of Disc-Golfers love Solomon shoes. Awesome! Water proof!

This is my fifth pair of Salomon shoes. Need I say more? They are comfortable, waterproof and work as walking shoes, for light hiking or before and after ski shoes. I will buy them again when these are worn out.

First purchase with broader fit and super comfy. Completely dry for dog walks and smart enough to wear to the office. Subtle and discreet for a pensioner with some life left!

The only thing is that the choice of color is not great has it use to be. You should hava more colors because the black is not that popular.

I'm in the motorsports industry as a car chief/lead mechanic/builder, and I discovered the version 8 a couple years ago and I am now on my 5th pair this time with the v9 goretex. I won't wear anything else. I abuse these things 7 days a week. I've owned a ton of race crew type shoes over the last 28 years and these are by far the best.

Solomon XA's are my go to shoes for outdoor use every day. I have several pair and have hiked with them from Antartica to the Arctic, in the Swiss Alps, and the high Sierras - I have tried others and there are none better than my Solomon XAs. Unparalled comfort and stability while remaining warm and dry.
