Hi everybody
I bought a XA Pro GTX and I got its sole very hard for me, Does XT Wings have softer and more shock absorbtion sole ? should I change my XA with XT wings?

The lacing problem is fixed since we changed the eyelets to ease the sliding of the lace and reduce the abrasion. From a cushioning standpoint, the XT Wings is way more on the comfort side than the XA Pro and the Agile Chassis System (the system we developed to provide atbility and underfoot protection) is more flexible than the 3D Chassis we use on the XA Pro 3D. If you run mostly on trails, the XT Wings and its energized heel to toe rolling effect is the right choice

Hey Erfan, The XA Pro's definitely have more of a firm sole. XT Wings are much more pliable and should give you a little bit more of a plush ride. You might want to be a little careful, or just take notice of the lacing system. I use to wear these and had mass problems with the laces wearing through after only a couple longish runs. Hopefully they have fixed the problem. Absolutely comfortable shoes none-the-less. Hope that helps.
