The XC-72 is surprisingly a really comfy lifestyle shoe! Despite having no proprietary comfort tech, there is a good amount of foam that provides a good amount of cushioning. The big and hard rubber outsole does make the shoe slightly chunky, but nothing too bad (when compared to chunky designer sneakers).
