Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe - Women's Bog/Aloe/Concord Grape, US 6.5/UK 5.0

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put the XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe through a full day on a rocky ridgeline route that started in a downpour and never fully dried out, and my feet stayed completely protected from start to finish. The 3D Advanced Chassis is something you feel immediately on technical ground, keeping the foot stable and dialed in even when the trail gets loose and unpredictable. This is the shoe I reach for when conditions are uncertain, and I need something I can count on."The trails that are most worth running are usually the ones that ask the most of your gear. Rocky switchbacks, creek crossings, and stretches of slick exposed granite all demand a shoe that stays composed when things get technical. Salomon built the XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe around exactly that premise, pairing a GORE-TEX membrane with the kind of structural stability that makes uncertain terrain feel manageable. The 3D Advanced Chassis sits between the outsole and midsole and acts as the foundation the whole system builds on, optimizing motion control and keeping each footstrike precise regardless of what is underneath you. The EnergyCell+ midsole delivers enough cushioning to carry you through long efforts without beating up your legs, while the All Terrain contaGRIP outsole with 3. 5mm lugs locks into wet, dry, loose, and hard-packed surfaces with equal confidence. The reinforced toe cap takes the edge off rock strikes, and the quickLACE system keeps the fit dialed in with a single pull so there is no stopping mid-run to fiddle with your laces.
