I've been looking for this type of stability & support in a trail runner for the past couple years. As a 220 lb guy with severe pronation in my right instep, I need a shoe that's burly and supportive. Well, this is it!
I've tried (and been fairly happy with) the New Balance 876 and the North Face Doubletrack, but neither shoe had quite enough support for me. The XR Crossmax Guidance offers me the stability and support I need, and it has a very precise fit that helps support my ankle. I does not offer much in the way of cushioning, so you may not want to use it as a high-mileage pavement runner. I've got Superfeet Greens in mine (they creak like crazy, though!)
I love the speed laces and the fully enclosed tongue. The grippy soles provide impressive traction. IMO, this shoe is even burly enough for light hiking with a daypack. And they're pretty smooth looking, too!
