Great shoes

I thought it was important to submit a review that reflected how well these shoes function for their intended purpose. The XA Series fill a strange role, but they do it pretty well. The forefoot is a little loose, but that should be expected if they are to be as light as they are. Figuring out the lace tension can be a bit tricky: too tight and they really bear down on the forefoot, too loose and the shoe feels sloppy. The shoes definitely feel light and fast, but bottom line comes to how much downhill running you will be doing. If the race course includes long or especially steep downhill sections, I would recommend going with a different shoe.
