Our verdict

A stable, protective trail running shoe with waterproofing named, a new midsole material and an all-terrain outsole. The spec table names a different model and says not water resistant, so treat those lines with care.

Overview

A trail runner who wants a stable, protective shoe gets the Salomon XA Pro here, with a Gore-Tex upper, an energy cell midsole and a Contagrip outsole cut with tailored lug patterns.

Stability, tough construction and grip are the pitch, and the new midsole material adds cushioning. The listing blends a description of one version with a different style name in the specs, which is confusing. Width, drop and fit guidance are absent.

Who it's for

Trail runners and hikers who like a familiar, sturdy shoe with a protective upper. Road runners, and buyers who need confirmed waterproofing, should read the specs closely.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Gore-Tex upper per the description
  • All Terrain Contagrip outsole
  • Chassis for stability
  • Bungee quick lacing
Cons
  • Spec table names a different model
  • Water resistance entry conflicts with Gore-Tex
  • Drop and width not listed

Performance notes

The energy cell midsole adds cushioning, and the advanced chassis resists twisting on uneven ground. Contagrip rubber with tailored lugs grips varied terrain, and Sensifit wraps the midfoot for a secure fit. Gore-Tex in the upper is meant to block water, though the specs call the shoe not water resistant.

Frequently asked questions

How do I lace the Salomon XA Pro Ultra GTX?

The specs list a bungee closure on one line and lace-up on another. The description gives no lacing steps, so check the product images.

Is this the XA Pro or the Speedcross?

The title and description say XA Pro. The specs show Speedcross 6 as the style name, which looks like a data error, so verify the model.

Is the Salomon XA Pro Ultra GTX waterproof?

Gore-Tex is named in the description, but the water resistance field says not water resistant. Confirm before using it in wet conditions.
