FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard XA Pro 3D V9 is designed for breathability. Check your specific model label for 'Gore-Tex' or 'GTX' branding if you require waterproof protection.
Can I use these for daily walking?
Yes, they provide excellent support for daily use, though their stiff construction is optimized for the rigors of technical hiking.
How do I replace the laces?
The XA Pro series uses a specialized Quicklace kit. Replacement kits are available through Salomon and can be installed by following the included instructions.
Are they true to size?
Most users find them to be true to standard hiking shoe sizing, though it is always recommended to have about a thumb's width of space at the toes.
What surfaces are they best for?
They perform best on technical, uneven, and natural trail surfaces rather than flat asphalt or smooth concrete.
Troubleshooting
Laces feeling too loose or tight mid-hike
Re-adjust the tension by sliding the locking mechanism, ensuring the lace is tucked securely into the designated lace pocket.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff brush to clear out debris after each use to ensure the outsole maintains maximum contact with the trail.
Uncomfortable pressure points
Loosen the lacing system entirely and re-lace, ensuring the tongue is centered correctly before tightening again.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your XA Pro 3D V9s, spend time adjusting the Quicklace system to achieve an even tension across the top of your foot. Avoid over-tightening near the ankle, as this can cause discomfort over long periods.
Care Instructions:
- After muddy hikes, rinse the shoes with lukewarm water and mild soap.
- Use a soft brush to remove debris from the outsole lugs to maintain traction.
- Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Ensure the footbed is removed during the drying process to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
