The XA Pro 3D is Salomon's most iconic and versatile trail running shoe. Its comfortable fit, flexibility, and less aggressive tread allows it to run triple duty as a running shoe, hiking shoe, and everyday shoe. Compared to the other models in Salomon's trail running line, the XA Pro has hard-object impact protection (i.e., a rock shield) over the greatest area of the foot -some models just have it under the arch, but the XA Pro extends it under the ball of the foot as well. Other models also have more aggressive tread and heel brakes, which are a double edged-sword; they work great when moving fast on soft ground and downhills, but wear out more quickly on hard surfaces and feel funny on the floors and pavement which we spend most of our time on. The XA Pro is comfortable to wear on these surfaces, and yet so capable off-road that it is the choice of many Appalachian Trail through-hikers.

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra for backpacking!
All around good shoe.
My old pair:
These were some of the more comfortable shoes that I have ever owned and they are excellent for doing just about anything. I spent an entire summer wearing these on 4 miles of commuting to work (on foot or bike depending on the weather), as well as all of the time that I spent in a biology lab and at our field sites, and even at the gym and on trails with the dog every evening. Basically, I gave these a run for their money and they really came through for me.
The problem was that they wore out very quickly. The tread on the ball of my foot went first (I run and walk on the balls of my feet). Despite this, I still use these for field work and I have never had problems with walking on trails and really rough terrain and sometimes even in rivers. The other problem was that one of the pull laces broke at a grommet although is still functional.
The new pair:
These seem to be better constructed. The pull-laces seem hardier, as do the traction and the fabric at the back of the shoe. They are just as comfortable although they do need some time to break in before using for strenuous field running. And the best part, they are still just as comfortable.
I am hitting the "I would recommend this to a friend" button with one condition, be prepared to not have these shoes last for a long time.
The style got me interested in trying the shoe as it has a great technical appearance along with the Quiklacing. I bought the shoe wanting to try the Quiklacing system. As it is not perfect, however, I do prefer it over the cumbersome laces. One pull to adjust the tightness depending on the situation. To loosen the tightness is to press the fastner and slightly loosen the cable and done. It's much faster than re-tying and getting it just right.
Although comfort of a shoe depends on how well the shoe fits a particular foot but fortunately it works for me. The shoe support for me is not too stiff nor flimsy. It provided me a good balance of support between hard and soft whether I was running over a rocky and hard surface or running up a steep mountain which was dry hard packed. I go on fast pace hikes that are about 3 hours long and there have been no issues of pinching, rubbing, spot tightness, etc.
I gave it a 4 star rating since I personally felt it was a great product but not an absolutely perfect in every aspect. The lacing becomes slightly loose after awhile and I would have to give it a slight pull to re-adjust.
Pros
+ Quiklacing system
+ Comfort - toe room, heel, arch, upper
+ Design & Style
+ Quality
Cons
- Quiklacing not perfect
- No improvement change from previous
I wore these on the Appalachian Trail during my thru-hike. My first pair lasted almost 1,000 miles! My second pair, 600; my third pair, 400, and my fourth pair is still with me with some 350 miles and counting. The reason they die is the foam side wall detaches from the rest of the shoe; when this happens, the inner stitching breaks and then your toes poke through or branches jet in.
I bought a size larger for the thru-hike as my feet were always swollen. Also, NO-GORETEX, these bad boys would dry from soaken wet to bone dry in only a few hours of wear, or after an hour in the sun. Goretex versions take much longer to dry, and when it is really raining, your feet are gonna swim, you can count on that, regardless of gtx or not. Might as well give them an advantage when it comes to drying out. I confidently say that 9/10 thru-hikers agree.
Also, the lacing system never slipped, not once out of all four pairs. The lacing system is bomber and when it's so cold you can't even make a fist, you'll be glad all you have to do is tug with one finger on these guys to set them tight rather than tie a knot. NO SLIPPAGE EVER! Salomon rules.
Good Comfortable Shoe
great shoe
Great shoe but wears quickly
Even with the early wear issues, I will likely buy another pair when these are done. Advice to Solomon though...use tougher rubber for the treads.
Unbelievably good.
I immediately swapped the soles out with SuperFeet, so I can't comment on the original soles. The shoes seemed to cushion reasonably well, but if you need more cushion look elsewhere or add special soles.
After a few hundred miles, I found them to lose their grip pretty substantially, but I don't think this is unusual.
All in all, I got about 700 miles out of each pair. When my current pair breaks down, I'll probably buy another.
I gave the shoe 4/5 stars because I think that there are some spots of wear on the shoe that maybe went before they should have.
So I figure I'd write a review on these finally...considering i've owned three different pairs of this exact shoe. These babies fit my feet perfectly!! But not just mine, I havn't heard of anyone's they don't fit. I bought my first pair of these before going to an SAR school for a year...this included many LONG hikes with a pack anywhere from 35-50lbs. Never once got blisters! In fact I havn't had blisters with these since I have had them. I mainly use them for backpacking trips and some trail running. I'd say the best thing about these shoes is the fact that they last through some pretty strong abuse, and have a ton of foot room in the toe box. They are also very true to fit.
I'd recommend these to anyone and everyone, simply no other shoe compares.
Great shoe for long distance backpacking
Negative Reviews:
5th pair of Salomons - declining quality
But my main gripes about this particular shoe are the:
Squeaking shoes: The superfeet support insert does not fit properly because of this Salomon's excessively protruding footwell seam which causes the superfeet to compete for that space, and the ill fit causes really loud squeaking in this shoe upon every footfall. I have 2 pair and it happens in both, and tried a 3rd at REI and had the same thing happen, with 2 different sets of superfeet, so that's what led me to the design flaw conclusion.
Eyelet attrition: The Z-lace eyelets are not made of solid nylon or metal, instead they are made out of a thin turn of nylon cordage, which means that the Z-lace itself will slowly cut through those eyelets like a saw (via abrasion) over time. This essentially means that this shoe was designed to fail early and often by design. For such an expensive shoe, this is unacceptable.
Having said that, the eyelets that end up wearing the most are an indicator of the most stressed areas of the foot during your gait / activity. So having that as a metric is the silver lining; too bad you have to sacrifice your shoe to get that data.
Heelsaw : the heelcup is a nylon shield draped in some cheapish foam and covered by a fragile thin mesh of their webbing material. This wears excessively early in the heel like so many others (go to a garage sale and you'll see this flaw glaring at you from so many sad dead salomons). So it's a trend now, to make things bad on purpose so the wear early and have you buying another. This shoe is bad and salomon is bad because of bad shoe.
Other things to mention- if you run on concrete or asphalt, the tread wears very quickly. A good cobbler can actually trim and replace the bottom with a sturdy vibram sole intended for a hiking boot at less than half the cost of a new pair of salomons so it's worth it.
Although this will significantly increase the weight, the shoe still works way better than most shoes and will last much much longer (years versus months). For hiking, it's still a very comfortable shoe while it lasts.
Poor choice for duck feet and wide feet
First, the good stuff: this is a very nice looking trail shoe!
Having compared the wide and regular XA Pro side by side, there isn't much of a difference between the two beyond a slightly wider heel counter. The forefoot and midfoot are nearly the same size. On my foot, the only functional difference was that the wide XA Pro had a lot more heel slip than the regular width.
The kevlar lacing setup introduces other problems, especially for someone with a wide foot or wide forefoot. Since you can't control how snug each part of the foot is, you risk pinching some parts of your foot to lockdown others. Even if you remove the kevlar and install regular laces, the lack of an extra set of eyelets makes it impossible to loop lace. It's a neat gimmick and it might work on some feet, but it isn't adaptable. I wasn't able to get a solid fit without pulling the laces tight to the point of pain.
Doesn't take orthotics very well. Superfeet Green are out of the question. Even Superfeet Blue were too big and wide. Heavily trimmed orthotics may work.
Unfortunately, these are going to have to go back- and with it, my 20% off discount.
Disappointed
After a few runs, I noticed a little heel slippage, which with a traditional lacing system, is an easy fix. However, the problem lies with the Kevlar® Quickfit™ lacing system. The inability to adjust or loop and generally being stuck with too loose or too tight of a fit without being able to customize the fit with the laces, is where this shoe fails.
After developing heel blisters on both feet, I still used them for a while, since I'm of the school of thought that good heel calluses are great for running, hiking, etc. I gave the shoes a more than adequate breaking in period and instead of improving fit and comfort, the problem not only persisted, but got worse.
The overall construction is great, but until Salomon changes their lacing system, I believe I've bought my last pair of running shoes from them.
Toe box is too narrow for a
Seemed comfortable . . . until I ran
Just letting people know - hopefully they'll work for you, but I had to return mine.
Lousy insoles
Salomon should stick to Skis
2 Year Warranty Should be 2 Day
Too narrow!
Poor build quality
A real shame since these were one of the most comfortable trail running shoes I have owned, but they just dont hold up.
Neutral Reviews:
Ordered these after speaking with one of the BC gear specialists. Been looking for something to replace a pair of shoes which I'd worn out. Unfortunately, I have size 14 feet (not wide though). So it's difficult to find what I'm looking for.
Anyway, ordered these to try as I was told they should be fine in a 14 and they carry them in a 14. I liked the way they look so I figured I'd give them a shot. Unfortunately, these things run a LOT smaller than their listed size. They were much too tight. So I had to send them back.
Actually found them locally and they had a 14 wide and I figured I'd try that out. These, too, were too tight. Again, I don't wear a wide shoe but these were much too tight.
I do like the way they look though (although not all of the colors).
This is a very nice heavy weight take you anywhere trail runner that fits great and has piles of good qualities you can read about in other reviews. However, if you sweat even the slightest bit this is not the shoe for you. During the warm time of year this shoe will quickly fill with sweat and since there is no mesh on the lower portion of the shoe, the sweat is there to stay. You can actually fill this shoe a quarter way up with water and it will not drain. So if you live where it's always cool and dry this shoe is great for its intended purpose but if you live anywhere that the temperature gets over 80 stay away.
Comfortable shoes, but I wore holes in them after two months of casual hiking and dog-walking.
very comfortable, and they have held up well (durable).
likes:
light, well ventilated, good fit
dislikes:
cable-lacing system works, but is gimicky and doesn't really provide much of a benefit over traditional laces. sole/lug pattern is very shallow and provides only mediocre traction. under heel the shoe is padded and protected from below. but under forefoot and front foot the shoe is very thin and offers almost no protection from objects you might step on. Why just the heel?
I've relegated these to around-town and now use Montrail Mountain Masochists for real trail running
and I'm experimenting with Vibram KSO Trek Sports. If you are going to give up on protection from below, you might as well go all the way.
