Better Gift Shop works in collaboration with Salomon Advanced on a new iteration of the XAPro 3D Mid GTX shoe for the season. It has a weatherized construction to withstand the conditions of Winter and has a hybrid look that fuses elements of both a sneaker and a boot together. The colorway highlights tones of tan and brown for a neutral palette complete with contrasting touches of yellow for a pop of color.

It is coated with GORE-TEX materials and the panels are detailed with Salomon branding. It rests on top of an Energy Cell midsole base foundation and has an EVA foam unit to absorb shock. Oliver Catahan, Co-Owner of Better Gift Shop states that “The more you wear this boot, the more you realize that you need fewer footwear options, adding to our sustainability efforts by encouraging less consumption.”
