Montrail Hardrock Mid '09 GTX Hiking Shoe - Women's - 2009 BCS

The Montrail Women\222s Hardrock Mid '09 GTX Hiking Shoe includes a waterproof breathable lining for nasty conditions and a Trail Shield forefoot for rocky trails. Unlike those beefy waffle stompers, this Montrail hiking shoe lets you go fast on trips where you\222d rather cover lots of ground instead of carry lots of gear. The molded Trail Shield forefoot shank adds stability and protection on less-than-smooth surfaces.
Bottom Line: You don\222t need big clunky boots.

I received a pair of these for Christmas - they seem tight around
I received a pair of these for Christmas - they seem tight around the ankle and a little too wide around the ball of my foot. Are these typically a wide shoe?

I am a trailrunner training for a 100 miler. A few months ago I sprained my ankle pretty badly and have been wearing boot style ankle braces since. A friend suggested the Montrail hardrocks and a high top running shoe. Could these be used for ultra distance running? Or did she mean the lower top hardrock trailrunners?

Jenny. Any shoe with a little ankle support would be good for you at this point. This shoe was built on the same platform as the low top runner... so, think of it as a low top runner with mid-height ankle support. The mid-height Hardrock has been used in many an ultra race and I think you'll find this to work out well for your needs. Hope this helps and good luck!

First off, I typically love Montrail shoes so it was my main choice when looking for a cross-over shoe for trail running and lightweight backpacking (3 days in the Sierras with about 30lbs on the back, plus non back days peak bagging, fly fishing etc.) When the shoes arrived, I wore them around the house for a few hours and found that the plastic buckles at the ankle dig into your skin. I was not overly tightening the shoes either. Additionally the toe box felt a little less roomy than normal for Montrails. The company's size 8 typically fits my feet fine (slightly wide toe box but narrow elsewhere). The shoes would not accept my thicker Smartwools or new Keen trail running socks without feeling too tight! A size 8.5 might. So I left the shoes at home to be returned and got by with my regular trail runners and only a couple of blisters. I do like the cross between backpacking/trail running in a shoe but this model needs more work. In the meantime I'm going to get the Asolo Styngers and stick to more traditional hikers (although lightweight for their beefiness) and cart a pair of trail runners with me for scrambling.
How would these be with a 30lb pack?

With the added support around the ankle I would bet you would find these to give you enough support. With that said, everyone is different. Most climbing packs push 30 pounds in weight and most of those are carried with low top approach shoes. It all depends what you will be doing, whether you have any old injuries, and how long you are going for. More than likely you will be fine with the added support. Hope this helps!

Ok, I have been buying Hurricane Ridge Trail shoes for years.
Ok, I have been buying Hurricane Ridge Trail shoes for years. I have had to return the last two pairs because they were defectively made. I understand Montrail has discontinued the shoe. I want a Gore-Tex trail shoe but I am not so sure about the Hardrock or any Montrail. Are there any other brands of trail shoes that are Gore-tex that you could recommend? Female - recreational runner, 120lbs. Thanks

Thanks for your comments. So, if you are willing to try a new Montrail shoe... we just came out with a new show called the Mountain Masochist that comes in a Gore and non-Gore version. The shoe was just awarded the "Gear of the Year" award by Outside Magazine and we are really excited about the shoe and it's potential. Check them out! If you are looking for a water proof mid-height shoe the Hardrock-Mid in Gore is a great choice. If you are looking for shoes from other brands specifically... everyone makes a good Gore running shoe that I am sure will suit you well. Good luck!
