Salomon Women's XA Pro 3D V9 Gore-Tex

The XA Pro platform has earned its reputation over decades of hard use on technical terrain. This women's version adds Gore-Tex waterproofing to an already proven chassis, making it the right call for runners and fast hikers who deal with wet, unpredictable conditions regularly.

Highlights

• Gore-Tex waterproof membrane — Keeps feet dry on wet trails, creek crossings, and early morning runs through dewy brush. The added protection makes this a true three season shoe in most climates.
• 3D chassis for stability and support — The structural midsole keeps your foot aligned on rocky, uneven terrain where ankle rolls are a real risk. Built for control over raw speed.
• All Terrain Contagrip with tailored lug pattern — Updated traction that handles rocky and mixed surfaces with confidence. The 3.5mm lugs grip without feeling aggressive on more moderate terrain.
• High foot protection — Substantial underfoot shielding for technical and rocky trails where a less protective shoe would leave your feet feeling it by the end of the day.
• 11mm drop with moderate cushioning — A stable, predictable platform that suits heel strikers and runners transitioning from road shoes to technical trail.
• Built for technical running at 11oz — Protective and durable without being heavy. Designed for two to three runs per week on demanding terrain rather than high volume daily training.

Best for

Women trail runners and fast hikers who tackle technical, rocky terrain in variable or wet conditions and need a waterproof shoe they can count on across three seasons. A particularly strong choice in  mountain regions or anywhere the weather changes fast.
