Comfortable Water Protection

Had these shoes for a few years. My go for wet weather conditions in the city or hiking. The rubber by the toe has recently started to rip, so looking to replace it with a new pair.

We purchase this model shoe time and time again - both the gore tex version and the mesh version. For a narrow foot, it is helpful to have the lace thread across the top of the foot as it does, securing the shoe into place. We will continue to buy these, thank you Salomon for continuing to make this model!

This is my 6th pair of Salomons. They have a good feel on the trail giving structure you can rely on. Whether on granite, scrambling, uneven trail, or those steep uphill parts that test your upper legs and stamina, these shoes are there in a way you don't have to think about your footwear while you're trying to do something.

Tough and rugged
Originally posted on salomon.com

I bought these mainly to be able to use to walk the dogs through the winter due to them being waterproof. They hold my feet well and feel really sturdy on off road paths and tracks which is great. They do, however, feel a tad unforgiving on any paved surfaces and the soles do not feel especially cushioned. Perhaps this is the trade off for off road stability…but I would say that I’d find these quite unforgiving to trail run in. They have been completely waterproof so far and don’t feel too hot to wear even when it’s not that cold.

7th pair. I keep buying them.

I’ve been a big fan of the Salomon brand for years. When it comes to footwear, I’ve owned at least ten different models of your shoes and boots. I currently have the Salomon Quest 4 GTX and the tactical SALOMON QUEST 4D GTX FORCES 2. Unfortunately, the XA PRO 3D V9 has been a real disappointment. After only a few months of mostly urban use, the inner lining at the heel area started to tear, and the Gore-Tex membrane began coming loose and bunching up inside the shoe. The irritation at the heel became so bad that I had to place a small patch inside just to keep wearing them — on shoes only a few months old. The same issue occurred with the non-Gore-Tex version as well (after 3 monts of use), which was another disappointment.

The V9 is narrower than the V8
Originally posted on salomon.com

I have been using this line of Trail runners for many years and model iterations. Both with and without Goretex. Unfortunately this V9 seems to have gone to a narrower design with cramped my right foot toes. Left side is ok but not the right. Also the narrow design won't let me use my old custom orthopedic implants. Is this the end of the line for me and try a different line/manufacturer? A bit disappointed after all of these years.

We're sorry to hear the V9 isn't working for you after so many years of loyalty to this line. Model updates can sometimes result in fit changes that don't work for everyone, even long-time users. We understand how disappointing this is after finding a shoe that worked so well for you over multiple iterations. Thank you for your years of loyalty and for sharing this feedback about the design changes.

The shoes looked great and look well constructed. I got them delivered and tried them on, my first time wearing Salomon's I would say they run narrow. Luckily the return process was a breeze and I am ordering a pair of wides.

Very tight

Compared to the previous version 8 I had, it was both shorter in length and much tighter, especially at the top - despite ordering a half size larger, I had to return it. Even the wide version was tight!!

The break-in of the shoe is rough. Fit to size. Keep my feet dry. Comfortable. Heavyweight.
