XA PRO

ICONIC FOR A REASON

Through its evolution as a world-class adventure running shoe, the XA PRO 3D has become the best-selling high-performance multisport shoe in the world, and continues to set the benchmark for excellence.

A vision

Designed through the desire to have a lightweight, stable shoe that could move quickly over extreme terrain, Fred Cretinon created the first XA PRO. Fast and light, it was part of the first wave of trail running and redefined adventure running itself.

An instant success

Right away, XA PRO 3D answered the needs of mountain runners everywhere – a light and fast shoe with the stability they needed for the roughest terrain. It performed so well that alongside trail runners and racers, hikers and walkers also embraced its versatility. Whether it was adapted for all conditions with GORE-TEX technology, or extended to a mid-cut version for extra ankle support, every iteration of this legend only added to its status as the gold standard of excellence.

Stability, protection & fit

At the heart of the XA PRO 3D is its 3D Chassis structure that gives it its trademark stability on trails. The original H-shaped structure provided mid-foot and heel stability, as well as agility in the forefront of the foot. The chassis evolved to include reinforcements at the toe of the shoe for all-important protection in extreme terrains while the introduction of quickLACE™ and sensiFIT™ technologies brought unparalleled fit through its engineered foot cradle for a custom-like fit.

“This shoe is so light and comfortable that it has extended out of the athlete niche. Amateurs have adopted it because it allows them to run short distances and go hiking as well. Some of them have even chosen it as their everyday shoe because it gives them a sporty look.”
