The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GORE-TEX shoes are top-tier for hiking and trail running. Great fit, excellent grip, and totally waterproof — they’ve handled rain, rocks, and mud with no problem. The Quicklace system is super convenient, and they feel stable and supportive on any terrain. Durable and dependable. Highly recommend!

I purchased these shoes to work outside in various conditions and terrains. I walk and average of 18,000 steps a day. I’ve walked in the rain, through the mud, and through wet grass and have yet to have gotten my feet wet.

I have worn Salomon shoes for over 10 years and these are the pinnacle of their development. I bought an extra pair in a non goretex funky colour Brilliant experience. I must mention the amazing team at covent garden/ Long acre.. Absolutely joyous experience... They are all great , but Marta helped me directly. Her knowledge and recommendations really helped it become a brilliant interaction.

Necessity for daily physical activities

This shoe is great in the gym and on walks or hikes. The fast lacing system is so good, I don't want a shoe without it. With the gore tex, it makes these shoes easy to clean. Just wash them off and as long as you don't saturate the inside of the shoe you can wear them immediately. Hold the shoe upside down and run water over the sole, allowing it to run over the sides. Possibly use a brush and a light hand soap. Towel dry and you are good to go. The V9 does run a bit narrow in the toe area than the older V7 so I ordered one half size up and the fit is better. I may go one full size up next time. Also, I haven't tried the wide version, so maybe that would be a better option.

Excellent shoe! Is it a trainer for the gymn, or a casual for around town, or even a trail shoe? Truth is, it's all of the above and more, given the smart black colour, makes them work-wear friendly, and the tread is excellent, so a proper all-rounder! I may have, (at last) found my 'perfect' all round trail shoe! The gortex option works well for me, without being overly sweaty as other brands I have owned can be, if anything, these are the best all-round trainers I have ever owned, (and I have owned a fair few... including many of Salomon's!)

Love the style and colour combinations. However the xa9 pro is definitely not fit for hiking. After 5 months, I have a large cut in one of the heels. Sent back under warranty to be told it us a wear and tear issue. 5 months!

Bought these for work and couldn't be happier! Fit and support is fantastic. I'm on my feet outside for up to 10hrs. End of day my feet feel great. Traction is good and the Gore -tex is a bonus!

The initial break-in of these shoes is a little rough, but it only lasts for a day or two. After that, the shoes perform well. I've used these on regular hikes, casual walks, scrambles, and 10+ mile trips. They're still holding strong and are still comfortable.

Great features. The gore tex works great.

It has a good quality but not waterproof

I bought these and thought they were waterproof. I work on ice and I guess it has a whole in the front of both pairs because my socks gets wet all the time. I just bought the shoes less than a month and in the first rainy day working, I got my socks wet. I didn’t even used the shoes for a week and this happened to it. I’m also willing to change my shoes with another Salomon as I really like the quality and material. It was my first Salomon I bought and I’m happy but I wish they were waterproof because right now they are completely useless for me and doesn’t have any difference with a cheap shoes. I’m just looking for a shoes which is waterproof and doesn’t make my socks wet Thanks

This is my 3rd pair of the XA PRO Gore-Tex shoes. They have all held up well and protected my feet from the elements and terrain. If you are looking for a low cut hiking, trail running or just walking shoe, these are it. Durable, water proof Gore-Tex, with a great grip. I will continue to buy these as they wear out.

Over the years they have continually removed features which reduce the durability. Still having a pair from ~2015 that has plastic guides for the laces to slide through without cutting the fabric still in use and these news ones having none, is design obsolescence to force more purchases. Do better Salomon.
