SALOMON Men's Xa Pro 3D Gore-tex Trail Running Shoes Waterproof

Excellent quality

The best

Good walking shoes - relatively light weight and comfortable and easy to put on

This is my second salomon shoes. Good quality product. Last long. Nice pattern and colour. Laces make the life easy.

I walk every day.... no really, every day. Having a high energy dog means that I get to brave the weather no matter what it is. These shoes have been put through their paces having owned them now for around 8 months they are still holding up well.Still completely waterproof and very comfortable. I LOVE the quick laces which have also lasted very well.I suspect the rubber soles of the shoes will be the first thing to give way through the extended use.Having gone through lots of shoes previously that either gave me hard skin on my feet, failed the waterproof test after a few months or just perished I decided to buy another pair of these to keep until these need to be replaced.Excellent shoes!

I had an older pair of these that I literally wore until they fell apart and they were very comfortable. So, I bought another pair - these - I’m not sure what’s different but the same design and type of shoes are nowhere near as comfortable as my original pair. They seem narrower at the toe, slightly smaller (even thought the same size) and seem to have less arch support.I’m a big fan of Salomon footwear but these just aren’t as comfortable for me.

Got a pair of these XA PRO 3D GTXs to complement my old GTX X Ultra 3s. These primarily differ in that they have a rigid plastic arch plate.Objectively, this makes them easier to use for long trail hikes over rocky ground but on the flip side they do take a bit of time to wear in and mold to the foot (the X Utras fit like a glove pretty much from day 1).The sole tread seems similar to the X Utras, in that it's quite soft so they do wear. (the X Ultra 4's look like they've got a longer lasting tread pattern). I reckon I'll get maybe 250-300kms out of them by the time the lugs under the sole are worn pretty low. I'd have liked Salomon to use a slightly harder compound: the uppers are still going strong but the soles are dying.Both mine are GTX and it's a nice to have when it's wet. I don't have any issues using them in the heat. The autolacing system works great and I find them very comfortable, even if you have to tighten them every couple of hours. You have to do that with laces too, so the convienience is great.All in all these are both great trail hiking shoes and light enough to run with for shorter distances. If you are carrying serious weight you may want something with a hardered tread compound as the do wear fairly quickly. The flip side of this is they provide sure footed grip on most surfaces, even in the wet.Recommended, I'd give them 4.6 stars, dropping the 0.4 points because I wish they had a little more durable (longer lasting) soles, but well worth it if you can get them at a discounted price.

i found the product to be alittle bit smaller than normal. (i have been buying salomons for almost a decade) i found the quality to be of a poor standard compared to their other products i have owned in fact it was so bad i contacted them to see if they were fake only to be told after numerous e-mails and photographs that the product was real. The trainer had the quality of a £10 trainer you get from primark basically disposable trainer (1-6 months of use) and for the price i expect more. The sole is wearing much faster than normal i wear them for light use ( casual day to day walking and driving only) and i estimate mines will be useless in 6-8 months also the whole trainer is flimsy and weak no longer feel robust or sturdy I bought another product from them the non-gortex version which is more expensive and the same poor quality i now see salomons have went down the route of making poor quality footwear and dont care about what they sell or about the customer. I will now give up on salomon and buy another brand, my older salomon footwear are nearing there life after years of wear and have been good but there new products are terrible and a complete waste of money and are of fake poor cheap quality now. And i am not the only one on various forums everyone is stating the same poor quality at this rate salomon will close down or become known for selling crap. I would recommend people avoid buying salomons and spend your hard earned money on another brand
