The Salomon Women’s XA Pro 3D v8 Gore-Tex® Shoes are an updated version of an icon, lighter and softer yet still retaining all the essential benefits of the original stability, cushioning and grip. Perfect for training and racing, trail running and hiking, this shoe will effortlessly accompany you wherever the trail takes you. Now 20g lighter, the shoe features a seamed upper and thinner, softer materials for the perfect balance between comfort and protection, while a breathable, waterproof Gore-Tex® membrane keeps feet dry on the outside and inside. The new geometry of the 3D Advanced Chassis™ also provides just the right amount of cushioning and stability for a more secure ride. Placed between the outsole and midsole, this low-profile chassis helps optimise motion control and energy management, lending extra protection for a precise, stable and responsive stride. Additionally, the Contagrip® MA sole is built for the widest variety of surfaces, delivering confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, as well as long-term durability.
