help Salomon XA Elevate FAQ
What is Contagrip MA on the Salomon XA Elevate?
Contagrip MA is the lugged outsole compound and pattern used on the Salomon XA Elevate for traction on varied terrain. It is the part of the shoe that makes the XA Elevate suited to off-road running rather than smooth indoor floors.
What does the rock plate protect against?
The raised rock plate helps shield the foot from sharp rocks and roots under the shoe. That protection is useful on the technical trails for which Salomon designed the XA Elevate.
Is the XA Elevate for trail running or hiking?
It is described as a trail running shoe, with Contagrip MA lugs and a rock plate for off-road movement. Those features can also suit hiking, but the Salomon XA Elevate is built around a runner's need for traction and underfoot protection.
Does the Salomon XA Elevate have waterproofing?
The stated features emphasize a Contagrip MA outsole and raised rock plate, not a waterproof membrane. Check the exact XA Elevate version before expecting waterproof protection in prolonged rain.
