Pros & Cons
Pros
The shoe itself is what you expect, great shoe. Love these shoes, excellent support and love the laces. Great trail running shoe. Great quality.

This is my third pair of xa 3d ultras. I wore out the first. This is maybe the fourth or fifth pair of this shoe that i get for my husband.
Apl/ascend, new balance mt410ce5, asics gel venture 6 and salomon xapro 3d. Big heal loop.
Cons
Quality and durability are not on the list. Not enough for running pavement or cement. Will donate these and try again.
Is this a manufacturing problem, or have they cahnged sizing. Now there's a pinch point on the left toe that render the shoes unusable. The inside lining has already disintegrated!
Highlights
Quality
Especially with the ease of using the quick tie/release lacing.
I bought them for my teenager and am not disappointed.
Price
Price is a bit expensive but if they last as expected i will be satisfied.
I was torn between that and this one, but this price was $50 cheaper and can’t beat that.
Packaging/appearance
Right out of the box very comfortable great support.
