The XA Pro 3D has proven itself as one of Salomons iconic mountain trail shoes. When it comes to stability, durability & water repellency on the mountain you need a shoe that is going to keep up with you, & provides outstanding grip with a foot hugging fit. Whether you are trying to beat your personal best on the local trails or if you just want a sleek, comfy, lightweight walking shoe then look no further. The upper is made from a lightweight mesh backed up with a fully waterproof Gore-tex liner, a protective rubber toe cap & Mud guard. The unique Sensifit fit system provides the secure foot hugging fit; this consists of the zig-zag lacing anchor, the asymmetrical placement of the lace loops & the Quicklace lacing system. All of this really holds your foot securely by evenly tensioning from the sides to the top of the shoe. The 3D Chassis sole unit is made up from a solid protective heel cap, injection moulded EVA foam layer for cushioning, a hard plastic 3D Advanced Chassis for support and pronation control, another EVA foam heel strike pad & Salomons proprietary non marking Contragrip HA & LT rubber. A lot has gone into this shoe & you will no doubt get a lot out of it.
