Salomon Pro 3D XCR
The melted snow reminded me that I had no light hikers (or hike runner) for the warm season yet. Planned to get a pair of The North Face Plasma XCR Boa, I found the fit of that pair really disappointing. By chance, I tried the Salomon Pro 3D XCR on and it amazed me right away. I have never ever owned any Salomon’s before, seeing the company as just a great ski manufacturer. However, once my feet slided into the Pro 3D, hands down. Below are some highlights of the Pro 3D XCR. In-depth review is to be continued in soon…
Quickfit lacing system: This type of speed lacing is usually seen on the inner bootie of snowboard boots. Easy-on and easy-off. So far, I like it and durability will be my only concern on it.
3D Chassis: The most interesting Salomon tech to me. The low profile chassis goes through midsole intended to provide stability. The key idea behind, I think, is to provide independent suspension. How well does it work? Stay on tune.
Contagrip: Salomon’s own outsole tech. I will see how well it could grip.
Ortholite: The sockliner is so beautifully crafted that misleading me to think it was pulled out from an Asics. Another thing new to me was the EVA-made side wall at the heel cup of sockliner.
Okay, this is pretty much for today. It will hit the road tomorrow and more is coming…
