Excellent traction and a precise fit are the hallmark attributes of the Salomon Women's XA Comp 3 Trail Running Shoe. The running Contagrip® outsole features multi-directional lugs and forefoot flex grooves for high speed comfort and traction on mixed terrain. Trail runners are always impressed with the sole's responsive breaking and ability to grab onto pebble-strewn surfaces and paths left muddy after drenching thunderstorms. For that perfect fit Salomon uses their Quickfit™ one-pull lacing system on the XA Comp 3 to give the runner an easy way to adjust the fit. These asymmetrical laces run at an angle to closely parallel the flex point along the base of the toes improving comfort as the miles stack up. And to enhance the off-road support the 2D Advanced Chassis™ lies between the outsole and midsole to control twisting on rough surfaces and shield the foot when landing directly on sharp rocks.
