Why We Like The XA Pro 3D V8 GTX Shoe

The Salomon XA Pro 3D V8 GTX Shoe is a versatile trainer that readies us for race day. It's a do-it-all performer that we wear everywhere from race day to rainy day hikes.

GORE-TEX gives it reliable waterproofing fit for muddy trails, and the minimally-cushioned EnergyCell midsole focuses on stability to keep you sure-footed, whether the trail is muddy or full of rocks.

Contagrip rubber gives solid purchase in alpine terrain so feel free to run up to higher altitudes and back; whatever it takes to perform your best on race day.
