I was at REI this past weekend and saw what appears to be the new Salomon XA Comp 4. The XA Comp is my favourite Salomon shoe because it fits me so well. unfortunately they did not have a lot of sizes in stock, so I didnt get to try these on. I have not been able to find out too much about these shoes, anyone have a pair or have any experience – or + to report?
I've have a year+ old pair of XA Comp GTXs that I love, have used and abused, and are now falling apart. So I ordered a pair of the XA Ultras – and sent them back. Then I went to a local retailer and tried on another Comp and yet a third similar model, and declined on each.
There has been a very subtle shift in the support members that lead to the lacing points. The result on MY foot is that one cuts into the arch area. In talking with the shop owner, who was wearing a pair of Comp Ultras, he mentioned that pressure point, and that he "got used to it". Also, this was more noticable on my right foot than the left, so this is obviously a Highly individual situation.
From a sampling of only Two people, I suggest giving them 10 minutes of 'carpet time' before committing. Your feet may do just fine.
