Not a bad shoe- i have been a die hard salomon fan for years and relied on the XA Pro 3D and figured that i would go up a level of quality to the XT Wings. The shoe is not too bad and i have not noticed any real differences between these shoes and the xa pros other than the price. They seem to have more cushioning on the heel and a bigger toe cap but comfort and durability is no different. i love salmon shoes because of the ability to put them on right out of thebox and be super comfortbale, however these are the first pair that i have owned that gave me a blister on the side of my foot. Pretty nice looking butmy next pair will be the tried and true XA Pros as they are awesome and have never failed me.

Ian, there are a lot of differences between the XT Wings and the XA Pro 3D. You're right, more cushioning for the XT Wings, but the toe box is more protective on the XA Pro 3D, since this shoe has been developed to endure the toughest conditions. One of the difference is the chassis. The XA Pro 3D is lower to the ground and privileges a greater stability when the XT Wings privileges a better combination of cushioning and stability. The lacing system, the innovative Quicklace is the same and we fixed the problems encountered on the XT Wings of lace failure by changing the loops.
