Salomon Men's XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX Trail Running Shoe

These shoes are a godsend for me! Didn’t realize Salomon made wide fit hiking shoes until I had a botched foot surgery recently that requires me to where wider fit shoes. And boy are they comfortable! The quick release lacing system is also fantastic for quick entry and exit from the shoe. They are extremely durable and very comfortable even after hours of hiking. They look sharp and are easy to clean. They fit my feet great and provide ample toe room. The insoles are surprisingly comfortable even with my high arches. Waterproof feature is nice and my feet don’t seem to get hot or sweat even after hours of wear. I think I forgot to say, they are grippy on rock surfaces and I didn’t have any issues with grip or slipping on damp stones. As always, another set of quality shoes from Salomon, even despite a bung foot.

I bought these shoes knowing that grippy soft rubber sole material does not last long... especially if worn on asphalt or concrete. But their grip is noteworthy, and they are much lighter than most ankle-high hiking boots. I bought them intending to restrict their use on trails only... which is what I did. I held off reviewing these shoes until I'd worn them a while. I'll be retiring them soon, and intend to replace them with a pair of Speedcross 6 GTX. They've served me well these past 10 months. I generally hike 5 to 12 miles in them each time, and have put roughly 1000 miles on them. The trails I hiked (and cleared) in them were mostly dirt trails that weren't too rocky, but were occasionally as steep as 60 degrees. I always switched to durable-soled street-running shoes immediately upon leaving grassy or wooded trail areas. I could climb and descend like a mountain goat in them. That's the most notable feature I love about them. Trails that presented no trouble for me while wearing these shoes were really dangerous while wearing durable-soled shoes designed for street-running. The soft, grippy rubber traction difference is incredible. These quickly became my "go to" hikers when clearing trails. Nice to not be slipping while sawing or limbing downed trees on steep slopes. I was surprised to discover that I'd neglected to buy the Gortex version, because my feet stayed dry in these while hiking in wet grass. I intend to buy the GTX version next time, but my feet actually stayed fairly dry in these. I never crossed streams in them, but they worked fine in wet grass. I weigh 140 pounds. If you weigh a lot more than that, if you wear them while walking on asphalt or cement sidewalks, if you walk on rough trails with a lot of talus, scree, or sharp rocks, or if you walk a lot more than 12 miles per day in them - the soles may not last as well for you. They aren't intended to be durable. The rubber on these soles is designed to assist you in sticking to slopes. Not icy slopes (you'd need to add spikes) or slick mossy slopes. But most trail slopes. Soft sticky rubber isn't as durable as the rubber designed for street-running. As long as you understand that on the front end, you won't be disappointed when these don't last nearly as long as your usual street-running shoes. Hope this helps. One additional note: if you need proprioceptive feedback while running steep slopes or knells, Inov-8 trail running shoes are better for that. These Speedcross 6 shoes are more padded and comfortable, but I can't feel the ground underneath my feet nearly as well while wearing them. If you absolutely need to know where your feet are on the ground, switch to Inov-8s (Mudclaws or similar). If you want a more comfortable workday experience while clearing trails, switch back into the Speedcross 6s as soon as you safely can.

Yes, I'm. FACTs: I didn't purchase the GTX model, Nooo, I didn't. However, next time, I possibly will. Nevertheless ... Salomon's quality fit, impressive design, Conta Grip sole, comfort performance, high durability fabrics and combined innovative materials ... gives a superior experience each time I adorn my feet with these. Gripping into all surfaces as they anchors my feet and bites into earth's multifaceted terrain. Predominantly ... these ARE trail runners, but I, utilize them for my everyday walking needs. ADDED FACTs: They're are impressively lite weight and invitingly breathable. Also, NOTE: When they get wet, via rain ... puddles, or ponding water. They dry out quite easily and quickly. CONCLUSION: I'm extremely confident in my Speedcross 6s expected performance. Moreover, being streamlined for my narrow feet. I gravitate to these (always) to chop into my daily walk-path. Oh Yeah! Did I mention the awesome value for money? Totally, worth it. Yes! I wholeheartedly DO RECOMMEND for the trails (made for it) ... and just to comfortably step around town ... added bonus, (MADE for it).

I’ve been really impressed with the XA PRO 3D shoes. They feel incredibly stable and supportive on rough terrain, and the grip gives me confidence on rocky, uneven, and wet trails. The fit is secure without feeling restrictive, and they’re tough enough to handle long walks, hikes, and everyday outdoor use. Per usual for Salomon, they are durable, comfortable, and great traction. Great shoes, yet my favorite remains to be the Salomon Speedcross, just a personal preference.

I am a mailman. On a work day, I routinely get 29,000 steps. That's 13-14 miles, 5 days a week, 260 miles a month. As you can imagine, I go through shoes pretty quickly. We consider getting 6 months out of a pair to be pretty good. Usually at 2-3 months, they start coming apart. I've tried Salomon's hiking shoes, but they really didn't hold up for more than 4.5-5 months. So I decided to try running shoes. They're designed for miles. These shoes lasted me 8 months. And they would have lasted longer, but I wore the soles off of them. Structurally, they are still in great shape, but they are bald, as you can see in the pics. (Pics are old versus new) There was no painful break in period. They were comfortable all the way through. They have great grip with these cleats. Slips are a big deal in my job, and I never slipped once with these. Even in the state they're in, I still had pretty good grip. I was hesitant about the laces at first, but really came to like them. I cannot recommend these enough.

I’ve owned at least 6 pairs of the various versions of the Spedcross shoe over the years. The latest (Speedcross 6) has proven to be the best with a slightly more durable rubber formulation used in the outsole. The fit is reliably comfortable and Salomon has myriad colour offerings drab to bright to match any taste. These are awesome shoes!

These shoes are probably the best looking & most functional I've owned. They are freakishly sturdy and have unbelievable traction and grip. I wish they made them in a zero drop configuration. They'd probably outperform my Metcons for the gym. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Hey everyone wears these shoes in the sport I play so I thought I'd give them a try. They are a bit on the smaller size so either get them in wide if you can or half size up.

Ich liebe die Salomon Speedcross. Das sind die einzigen Schuhe, die ich anziehe und die sich anfühlen, als wären sie nur für mich gemacht. Keine Blasen niemals. Ich kaufe die Speedcross seit Jahren.

Oldukça kaliteli ve rahat

Excelente super hermosos talla correcta y excelente servicio, es mi primera compra en Amazon y fue muy satisfactoria son realmente cómodos tal como los imagine 🤩

J'adore ce produit! Très facile à lacer. Super agréable du fait de son amorti en marche rando, mais je n'aime pas le manque d'amorti en course. Sa membrane Goretex est super pour les balades "humides".

Une marque et des chaussures de qualité. Par rapport à la speedcross4, l'amorti est sensiblement plus dur sur route, mais l'accroche me paraît meilleure. Le col de la chaussure est un peu plus haut, mais ce n'est pas gênant. Pour ma part, la pointure 44 2/3 est la taille idéale.
