Really happy with this shoe. The cushioning is a bit better that the XT Wings 2, it feels more dense and there is more of it. The lacing system has plastic eyelets now, where as the 2 had some sort of a thin webbing type material that would get gunked up with dirt and sweat and then the laces wouldn't slide very well. For some reason, the Wings 3 feels a tad bit wider than the 2.
The lugs are more aggressive than the 2 and the upper feels a bit lighter and more breathable, with the exception of the toe box. The toe box is my only gripe, they put a heavy rubber cover of the toes, is too heavy. I don't know what this is supposed to help with. If I kick a large rock my toes will hurt from hitting both the rock AND the rubber toe cap, where as before they would only hurt from the rock. Seriously. The toe cap is overkill.
These run true to size. In fact, I think these should be the definition of a 14. Note, I am 6'4" 270lbs and I generally crush off road runners out in a few months, to the point where the cushioning is thin as a pancake. The XT Wings 2 have lasted for over a year of 12-15 miles/week off road. I have faith that the Wings 3 will perform similarly, given the few runs I have done in them thus far.
Only once before have I bought the same shoe twice in a row, and that was the Brooks Beast BEFORE they shipped their manufacture off the China (the Chinese Beasts are totally different from the American made Beasts). I have high standards for shoes ( I have to given my weight) so I think you will be pleased with them also.

So far so good with these shoes, they are very comfortable and the lacing is pretty cool but since I never had a pair with a lacing system like this or know had anyone who has either so it took me a few mins to figure them out. I am a big guy so I am hard on shoes so I will have to give an update here after I have had them for a few months.
