    The whole shoe is made with quality materials and seems to be well thought out with all the outsole/midsole layers.

  • 75 / 100 | Runner's World | Level 5 expert

    Sturdy multitasker.

  • 90 / 100 | Pris Chew Dot Com | | Level 3 expert

    A versatile multitasking shoe that can easily adapt to a variety of urban terrains, the Salomon X-Scream 3D is part of Salomon’s CITY TRAIL range, an adaptive series of lifestyle footwear that runners can use for running anywhere in the urban landscape.

  • 83 / 100 | Running Monkey | Level 3 expert

    It’s heavy for a ‘straight’ road shoe, but that ruggedness (and comfort) will deliver miles of pavement pounding with the advantage of being safe in the knowledge that trails are not beyond their capabilities.

  • 68 / 100 | Gear Institute | | Level 3 expert

    With the X-Scream 3D, Salomon carried over many of its innovated trail technologies into an ultra-stable hybrid road shoe with mixed success. The X-Scream 3D excels in construction of it’s upper, but the shoe falls short in performance.

    A great fit with the added bonus of speed laces

  • The Salomon X-Scream 3D features the Salomon’s innovative 3D fit, 3D grip and 3D ride. The 3D fit secures the foot comfortably thought the Sensifit overlays and quick lace system. The 3D grip features the multi-density and multi-pattern lugs that delivers multi-surface grip – wet, hard and soft surfaces. The 3D ride delivers a smoother and well-cushioning ride even on uneven surfaces.

The X-Scream 3D fits large and purchasing a half size small than the actual running shoe size is advisable. The midfoot, heel and forefoot are of standard measurements. It is ideal for runners with medium foot shape and size. However, those with slightly wider foot can also experience a comfortable fit on this shoe. Salomon is offering in shoe in standard D and B widths for men’s and women’s versions respectively.


Similar to the well known Salomon Sense Ride 2, the outsole of the X-Scream 3D uses the brand’s Contagrip technology that delivers reliable traction on various terrains. This technology is designed to help runners tackle wet surfaces without slipping.

The shoe also comes with the Salomon’s OS Tendon System that acts as a real tendon, providing balance and flexibility needed for an efficient and smooth heel to toe transition.


The midsole uses the full length injected EVA for enhanced underfoot cushioning. It works perfectly with the Salomon LT Muscle that is made lightweight and gives added cushioning when needed. The LT Muscle is designed to absorb shock during impact for a more responsive ride.


The Salomon X-Scream 3D uses an open mesh on its upper for a more breathable and lightweight coverage. It is made from quick drying material to keep feet cool and dry during the entire run. It also comes with the Sensiflex fabric that allows foot expansion for a more comfortable fit. It also comes with a protective rubber toe cap that protects the toes against bruising. The Sensifit overlays wraps the foot securely for a comfortable fit. The shoe features the brand’s quick lacing system for an efficient ride. It also comes with a lace pocket that tucks away the laces for the entire run.
