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

Toe box was still kinda cramped, and the arch portion of the shoe was unbearably narrow. Also, one of the shoes immediately started squeaking with every step. Return was easy though

Very comfortable this is the only tennis shoe i WEAR.

I bought these approximately 7 years ago and they are my goto summer hiking shoe for the moderate to light terrain mountain trails. I also have spent many-a-day around the town wearing these and have been comfortable the entire time no matter the condition; the dry grip is 100%, wet grip or stream crossing wet rocks I'd say ~85%. The outside of the shoe is amazing and in great condition. The area that broke down on me from wear was not the outside but the heel box inside primarily the left and right side of the heel. (it is worn down to the hard plastic shell of the heel box so I am looking at replacement of them.) Overall well worth the cost to be able to get over 7 good strong years out of them using them as both a goto summer hiker as well as a goto city shoe (which means they got a lot more wear than the rest of the Salomons in my collection.

I bought these a month ago and now have about 30 trail running miles on them through the AZ mountains. Great support and comfort. Theyve held up really well.

Love the product, have many pair, but their warranty process is terrible. 2 year warranty only applies to an online purchase, my REI claim was denied because I submitted at 53 weeks, 1 week outside their store policy. The bottom eyelet had torn open. Salomon customer service said they only handle online purchase claims, so I was left to the REI policy. So you're screwed.

After having hiked only 40 miles on the Timberline trail in Oregon, holes started appearing in the creases of the outer fabric. After a total of 150 miles after doing the TMB, the proprietary shoe lace started to fall apart and cut into the shoe lace loops. I wont be wearing these anymore and having spent $160 for a hiking/trail running shoe, Im extremely disappointed. I have owned a lot of Salomon shoes, , including several X Ultra 3s that are still usable after 3 years/450 miles. When I first received the shoes, I had my reservations about the outer material as its stiff and not flexible in the areas that bend a lot and form creases. Never had a shoe fail like this on me.

Bought this shoe after my previous generation of Salomons wore out. It's one of the VERY FEW options that Salomon offers in WIDE WIDTHS. Overall quality is superb. Verified waterproof. Not as wide as previous iterations of Salomons that I've worn, but its definitely wider than their standard shoe. Only fault I can find is that I have sore feet after an 8 hour shift at work where I'll generally put in more than 20k steps on concrete. I'm hopeful that if these were worn on trails or a softer surface that the foot fatigue won't be as bad.

These shoes are awesome fit and wear. They are great for me with the waterproof feature as I walk the yard or down by the river. I love the quick zip feature. This is my 5th pair of this style shoe from Salomon.

I needed a more durable shoe than the Alphacross 5 for work so I purchased the XA PRO 3D 9 Goretex. This is the durability I was seeking, the ankle stability it great and I love the quick lace. No more having to tie my shoes all day. I think the fit and over all comfort is superior to my Alphacross as well. Im super happy with these!

My 3rd pair of Salomon hiking shoes. Great shoegood design, very durable, holds its original form for years. Will buy another pair of Salomon hiking shoes when its time to replace this pair. Cant imagine switching to another brand.

Comfortable, great build quality, good looking, high durability

Ive had this shoe for about 6 months now and its quickly become me go to. Fit great and was comfortable right out of the box. Stylish and functional for a variety of activities.

Fit great as a wide foot. Love the quick lace and the tread is great. Feel pretty comfortable on and going to do plenty of hiking in them. Have had many pairs of speed cross so hope they are same quality. Replace every 6-8 months. Your feet are important and shoes wear out.

I bought an older version of these shoes about 5-6 years ago and loved them. These newer ones feel like they don't have the same grip the earlier versions had. That said great toe protection, strong shoe, and still one of the better shoes for hiking out here in Colorado. Built well and will last many years.

I purchased these on-line and Im always concerned about proper fit. They are perfect.

I've purchased and worn more pairs of XA PRO over the years I can't count them. They've been ruggedly sturdy. Now my feet are getting older and bruised up. I need a shoe that has solid stability with a lot of cushion at the ball of the foot. They are hard to come by. I'm older and still hike a lot. It's hard for me to wear psychedelic colors which seems to be the trend. In the future I hope Soloman will have a better selection of these types of trail running and hiking shoes. I've seen the latest Soloman releases, like the shoe, hate the colors. I guess I'm old style.

Shoe is as expected, as I've owned previous versions. The only concerns I'd raise are: 1) the shoe feels noticeably larger in a side-by-side comparison to other Salomon shoes of the same size, maybe by 1/2 of a size, 2) the asymmetric lacing system does apply some uneven pressure, specifically near the toe box, and 3) the time it takes to hide the "laces" in the lace hiding system can take longer than tying regular shoes.

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.....

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.

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.

It would be amazing, unfortunately it has 0 cushion for backheel that means friction destroys skin. It was the same with v8. Unforgivable for such high price

But, they now have a wider toe box than before. Been wearing this shoe for many years and the V9 is not what the previous versions were. I have a narrow foot and was so happy to find the Salomon's and the lacing system is the bom, being able to slip into them. Anyhow, now looking for a new shoe. Peace!

Hi, I used Salomon's sizing and measurement chart for I used Salomon's sizing and measurement chart for the first time. The shoes I received are fine to walk on flat surface, but going downhill, no. My fingers were pressed against the front of the shoes the whole time, although I ordered the larger of what the chart actually recommended. The shoes feel small despite being the wide model. Regards,

The shoes seem to be of excellent quality... I wish they fit, but I tried various sizes of the Wide Fit and I would hardly consider the Wide Fit to be wide at all.... I'm disappointed. If you have narrow feet, these seem like a great find!
