The Salomon XA PRO 3D for men are neutral trail running shoes. The XA PRO 3D are trail shoes which have been designed for running in harsh conditions and wetter trails. The SensiFit upper comfortably encloses the feet and is made of durable material which can take a beating. The upper is highly breathable and knows to wick away moisture from the inside to the outside. The Quicklace system ensures an excellent fit and ensures that the laces don't loosen up during your run. The EnergyCell midsole is made of EVA material.

It also returns energy with every step you take and offers resistance to impact shocks during trail runs. The Ortholite sockliner offers extra comfort. The 3D Advanced Chassis, found in between the midsole and the outsole, offers a lot of protection and stability to the feet. The Contragrip MA outsole is very durable and offers excellent grip on wet and loose undergrounds as well as on dry and hard surfaces.
