Salomon XA Pro 3D GTX-Mens 12 - Navy Blazer/Hawaiian Ocean/Dawn Blue
(1,312 reviews)
The Men’s XA Pro 3D GTX Shoe is a classic trail race shoe with proven performance at the highest level. With Salomon’s popular modifications, from your first step to the last, you’ll be amazed by the fit, stability, durability and grip. The incredible stability is achieved by the Advanced 3D Chassis. It combines flex in the forefoot with plenty of support under the heel to help propel you along. An EVA rebound midsole adds extra comfort. A precise and secure fit is provided by Salomon’s ubiquitous Sensifit system and an Endofit foot sleeve. Together they grasp your foot to hold it comfortably in place while allowing intuitive feedback from the ground. The upper is predominantly mesh that lets perspiration escape and dries quickly when it gets wet. Durability and grip are enhanced by the multidirectional lug design under the rubber outsole. The lugs claw onto the terrain and displace water to improve surface contact. The Contagrip rubber compound is tacky against any surface. The Quicklace system gets you ready-to-run in seconds. Just pull the cord, slide and hide the toggle and excess lace in the pocket at the top of the tongue.

These shoes take about 2-3 days to "break in" for me, but once they do they are a great fit. I find for my feet at size 10, the toe box is the right size and length, but the width is just a tad narrow, so they are a snug fit with a double layer hiking sock. They're among the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, including hiking in the Jaguar park in Belize, to driving 18-wheelers, this shoe is good for many purposes. I am hard on shoes generally, and these typically last only a 2-3 years before the softer rubber soles are completely worn slick and need to be replaced. This is probably due to the fact that I walk on sidewalks a lot, and steel steps on big trucks have a grip pattern that likely digs into the soles and tears them up.

I work in Conservation Enforcement in Michigan. I wanted to try something other than the traditional black leather boots and something different for the summer months. I wanted a light, low and breathable shoe that had some ruggedness to it. These have blown me away.I had my doubts about the quick lace system at first (namely durability), but once I tried them on I was sold. Unlike other shoes from other brands, these fit your entire foot snugly and securely. The toe box is also more than generous in terms of both width and height. Other shoes were either too tight in the toes, or not tight enough in the heel causing slippage and blisters.I've worn these for 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the past 4 weeks.

They are so comfortable and reliable that I'm going to buy more. I've never owned a shoe / boot from Salomon before and can tell you that I'll be buying from them for many years to come. My wife even had to buy a pair because of how much I raved about them. I don't trail run (by choice), but I have had a few foot chases and can say that I've never felt so agile off of pavement before. I'm also pretty impressed with the durability.If you're looking for something that fits like a tennis shoe but has more durability and traction, look no further. Maybe there's better options out there for the trail running enthusiast, but for the casual trail blazer these cannot be beat.

I have worn Salomon XA Pro 3D GTX as well as Salomon XA Pro 3D and other Salomon shoes for 20 years The XA Pro 3D GTX has a totally different feel from the non-goretex version. It's much more comfortable and the fit has a noticeably larger feel to the equivalent size in the non-goretex version. I always find the uppers wear out and holes appear around the big toe area before the soles wear out (and the £D chassis soles don't last too long!). Not the longest lasting shoe and inconsistencies in manufacturing mean that not all are waterproof. So why do I continue to buy them?

I put a brand new pair of these on, straight out of the box, and done a 30 mile walk. No problems! However due to my recent experience (where I got a 20% off voucher from Salomon for my loyalty and bought another pair of XA Pro 3D GTX only to find them at a lower price in my high street) I'm actively looking to switch to another brand with a similar lacing system. And I think I've found what I'm looking for. Goodbye Salomon!

23 September 2019
I have bought 4 pairs of Salomon trail running shoes. Three of those pairs were Salomon XA Pro 3D trail running shoes. All 2 of 3 pairs experienced a separation of the sole of the shoe from the body of the shoes. These separations were several inches.Additionally, none of these shoes were water proof as advertised on the REI site and as printed on the shoes themselves. The price of one pair was refunded as the defect occurred during the 1 year warranty. The second returned pair was 2 weeks beyond the one year and REI refused to refund the purchase price claiming that the 5 inch separation of the sole and body of the shoe was not a defect.

I bought the more expensive trail running shoes with Gortex lining in the hope that theywould be waterproof and not separate like the other Salomon running shoes. I was wrong.After only 5 months, both of the gortex running shoes also had the soles separating fromthe bodies at the toes and running at least 6 inches down the shoe. Also, despite advertising that these gortex shoes were water proof, they were not.I am returning these shoes as they are within the 1 year warranty period.Beware of buying these shoes as the problems with lack of waterproofing and separation of soles from the the bodies of the shoes has not been addressed by Salomon and are stilled sold by REI.

14 February 2020
Purchased in August 2015. These are perhaps the best hiking shoes I have ever owned. I have sweaty feet yet had little trouble in these though they are blanketed in GoreTex. In the 4.5 years I owned them I hiked a dozen 14'ers in Colorado in rain, snow (with gaiters), and in sun scrambling up steep terrain. The structure was never compromised. There is plenty of tread remaining. Nothing is fraying. No problems. They finally broke when my friend went snowshoeing and his metal buckle punctured the Salomon's apex and now there is a water breach. That's not the shoe's fault. Had it not been for that, these would have lasted for a few more years. Because of these Salomon's, I am sticking with the company and purchased yesterday a replacement pair; yet this time I need ...

Sizing on Salomon website is wrong. I’m 11.5 on their measurements, and usually I buy a 12 for using with good socks (all Merrell have been 12 and worked perfect).

I bought these as a pair of light hikers. Initial comfort was OK. The Speedlace system is a bit gimmicky and overall I prefer having laces so that I can properly snug up the shoe-- Speedlace seems to create spots that are too tight.I gave these 2 star for a few reasons. One, after applying waterproofing treatment, they became very squeaky. Maybe the fabric isn't designed to have it re-applied. this speaks to their overall throwaway nature, which I discovered when they wore out in the Achilles heel area and when the mesh near the toe box started ripping and pulling away. now in a few dozen more wearings they will be completely shredded. I have had cheap sneakers more durable than this, certainly not expected from Salomon.
