Salomon XT Wings Trail Running Shoe - Men's
Not quite an XA Pro, but....

As a long time (satisfied) user of the XA Pro 3D I figured I'd give the XT Wings a try for mixed road and trail routes. To this end they are a decent shoe for going from pavement to trail and back and I'm pretty satisfied with them.
Unlike the XA Pro which fit my feet perfectly, the XT feel as though they run about a half size larger around the heel area (I have wide toes and narrow heels).
In the XA Pro I run in size 11, the XT is a little sloppy at this size. They also seem more susceptible to being torn by trail debris than the XA Pro. This is due to the large amount of foam for pronation and shock control.
Overall a decent shoe for the inevitable times I find myself running on pavement.
