I ran in two different LS shoes during the Appalachian Trail Assault (2176 miles of rugged terrain). The Lynx provided great support once broken in. It took a few miles to break them in because of the stiff "rock protector" underneath the forefoot, but once broken in they performed perfectly. The flexibility came around, and with a slightly lower profile I did not once roll and ankle. Something I'm prone to with stiff shoes. When the mud, wet rocks, and roots were slick, the shoe gripped like a vice. From sideways to forward, slipping was a rare option. When winter comes, and running on snow is an option, these will work great!

I have been running in these shoes for almost a year now and I absolutely love them. They do tend to run a little small but I like my shoes on the tighter side. The traction is excellent and the uppers breathe very nicely on the hotter days. I like the shoe because it fits like a glove and provides amazing support, especially lateral support not seen in other trail shoes.

I should have gotten the gore-tex version given my location in the PacNW, but there is always next time. I have also been running in the Montrail Hardrocks, but I find the Lynxs to be a far superior shoe in terms of support, tread durability and cushion.

This is the best pair of trail shoes I've been into in a long time! I've been through plenty of brands but they always had problems. These are really perfect! Great traction but they don't wear out too fast! No issues with lacing systems breaking down prematurely. I don't feel any hotspots. Just a great pair of all 'rounders!

I wanted to like these shoes, but could not. They cage on the outside of the shoe that anchors the laces to the midsole rubbed my foot just behind my big toe. The traction was awesome and they felt great except when I was going up a hill and the forefoot area would flex a lot and that is when it would rub. I have the Imogene and the Crosslite and neither of them causes this issue. They get tons of great praise by other reviewers and I am sure it is a good shoe; it just does not fit my foot.

Great shoe. I am an adventure racer and for years I have been using the Montrail Vitesse. When Montrail discontinued the model I was really upset. It took me four months to find a new shoe. The Lynx has done that. Great traction...good support. If there is one minor fault it is the fact that the toe box is not as wide as I was used to.

After wearing these almost daily for two weeks,I have no negatives to report.The support,comfort and traction are second to none.Along with the Vasque Kota and Salomon XA Pro 3D these rate A+.Beware one thing-they run SMALL.Add at least a half size to be safe.Happy Trails.

I'm still trying to find the replacement for my Vittess's, after a couple runs of 15 plus miles and 5k of climbing they my do the job. They run very light but give tons of support. Ran on slick desert mud today, worked very well, not quite as good as the Crosslites, but better cushion. Enjoy.

I just ran 5 miles on trail with these shoes, straight out of the box, and I have no complaints. Great support in all the right places, laces up great, and looks real good. I prefer the yellows.

Well built, good support, decent cushioning, lightweight and the sole has great traction even on wet rock.
