ALMOST Perfect

By Haystack Needle Ranked #1653 - Men's Trail Run Shoes December 28, 2006

As I read so many positives about the XA Pro 3D, I'm compelled to add my thoughts. I've had three pairs, so I obviously am a fan (for the same reasons as earlier posted--feel, drainage, lacing, etc.). One important note, though: I'm 205 lbs and run on pretty rocky trails, and the mesh upper has consistently torn on top of the crease at the pinkie toe. Just something to consider if you're a heavier runner or running extra rough terrain--they're not as durable as the Montrail Hardrock, Continental Divide, or TNF 103 XCR. Otherwise, though, I agree that these are awesome shoes. If you're willing to replace them a month 80-100 miles earlier, buy them.
