I bought this shoe for trail running - but returned it after a couple weeks as it is just a bit too heavy and stiff for "real" running. If you're looking for something to stomp around in the woods this would be perfect with its waterproofness, serious tread, and high-tech lacing system (bombproof and user-friendly)

I beg to differ--I definitely do some "real" running in these bad boys. A couple of my favorite trails have some rather exposed hairpin turns and long straight stretches where you can pick up a lot of speed, and I have never felt more sure-of-foot than when I'm in my XA Comps. That said, I do agree that they're not a light shoe. I hear that the non-Gore version is lighter (but not waterproof).
