The Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GTX W Purple is ideal for technical trails. It features a sturdy 3D frame and a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane to keep your feet dry. These shoes have medium cushioning and an 11mm drop for a smoother stride. Their 3.5mm lug outsole provides great traction on a variety of surfaces, ideal for 2-3 runs a week in challenging conditions. Their purple hue adds to the statement, but doesn't sacrifice practicality when combined with outdoor gear.
