Designed for women who enjoy trail running and hiking, the Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GTX ICON W Trail Running Shoes are ideal for challenging outings on varied trails. They combine stability, durability, and support to help you tackle the most demanding adventures in winter conditions. Their GORE-TEX membrane helps keep your feet protected from the elements, while the 3D Advanced Chassis™ provides precise motion control and protection underfoot. With their All-Terrain Contagrip® outsole and 3.5 mm lugs, they’re designed to provide reliable traction on a variety of terrains.
Stability and protection for technical terrain
The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GTX ICON W trail running shoes feature the 3D Advanced Chassis™, positioned between the outsole and the midsole, to optimize motion control and energy transfer from the foot to the ground. This low-profile chassis is designed to deliver a precise, stable, and responsive stride, while providing protection underfoot on technical or rocky sections. The reinforced rock plate at the forefoot complements this design by offering an effective barrier against impacts and obstacles on the trail.
Grip and Performance of the All-Terrain Outsole
To meet the demands of trail running on varied terrain, these shoes feature an All-Terrain Contagrip® rubber outsole. This compound is designed to provide functional traction on a variety of surfaces, whether dry, wet, hard, or loose. The 3.5 mm lugs dig into the soil to secure your footing, contributing to the overall stability of each stride. The shoe is designed for versatile use, from forest trails to more technical terrain, while maintaining a consistent level of traction for regular runs.
Cushioned Comfort and Stride Dynamics
The midsole incorporates EnergyCell™+ material, designed to provide noticeable energy return and long-lasting cushioning. With each impact, this foam works to distribute stress and support the foot throughout your run, while returning some of the energy to help propel you forward. With an 11 mm heel-to-toe drop, a forefoot height of 17.3 mm, and a heel height of 28.7 mm, the geometry remains reassuring for runners accustomed to a pronounced difference in height between the heel and forefoot. This profile contributes to a smooth stride transition, which is particularly appreciated on long runs or on hilly terrain.
GORE-TEX Membrane and Durable Upper
The upper combines synthetic and textile materials, with an integrated GORE-TEX membrane to provide protection against the elements in winter or wet conditions. This membrane is designed to limit water penetration while maintaining a level of comfort suitable for regular outdoor runs. The upper materials were selected to withstand the demands of trail running and hiking, particularly against abrasion and repeated friction. The entire construction is part of the WINTER collection, designed for use in cold or unstable weather.
Quick lacing and a precise, women’s-specific fit
The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GTX ICON W trail running shoes feature the Quicklace™ lacing system, which allows for quick and even tightening across the entire foot. This system makes it easy to put on and take off the shoes, while providing stable support—especially useful on steep slopes or technical sections. The fit is tailored to the female foot, with a construction designed to precisely hug the foot without excess bulk. The stated weight of 370 g per shoe reflects a robust build focused on support and protection rather than extreme lightness.
The Salomon XA PRO 3D V9 GTX ICON W trail running shoes are positioned as a stable and protective option for women seeking safety, traction, and comfort on their trail runs and hikes in winter conditions.
