Trail-running weight, hiking shoe materials, and sticky-rubber traction go into the cauldron. The Montrail Men's Flow Shoe comes out, ready to tackle anything from short approach hikes to impromptu urban climbing sessions. Up front, Griptonite rubber and extended toe bumpers smear on slick rock and concrete like a salamander, while a full-wrap leather forefoot vamp provides protection and durability. Toward the rear, an EVA midsole, TPU stabilizing plate and breathable mesh panels give the Flow trail-running capability.
Bottom Line: Trail-running approach shoe, or scramble-friendly runner? You decide.
Good shoe. provides good support. well designed tread pattern grips well in mud and wet rocks. shoe seems to be true to size. harden rubber on over the toe protects and keeps water out. the other review is right the laces do come undone but if you tuck them in under the other laces this solves this problem. overall great light hiking shoe. the only thing that i didn't like is that they do heat up around the front of the shoe because there is less breathable material to seal out water but i live in hot humid environment so this can be expected with about any shoe. i wouldnt trade the protection for more venting.
I've never owned Montrails, but have seen them around for a long time. These Flows popped up on Steep & Cheap, and I ordered a pair. I wear an 11 and have a relatively wide foot. Ordered a pair of 11's, and couldn't be happier! The fit great the first time I put them on, and still feel great after a few weeks of wearing. The rubber toe covering is a great feature. I've used them for trail and pavement jogging, as well as everyday, around-town use and am very happy.
I think this is what this shoe's underlying purpose is, free running. It may not be fully advertised as such so as not to look like a niche shoe, which may narrow it's audience, but it is definitely a free-running shoe. By the way, the name speaks for itself.
I bought these shoes about four months back and have been using them for parkour in urban areas. They are a little bit stiff but have amazing grip- my tic tacs, wall runs, and cat grabs all improved immediately. I really like the covered toe feature after tearing holes through the toes on both of my previous parkour shoes. It is also extremely useful that the entire sole is cover with rubber- it has saved by butt a couple of times of rail precisions.
I love em. I was looking for a church/everyday/hiking shoe and this is it. They're a little grey (as i thought from the pics that it was more black) but i don't have anything against the shoe. I'd recommend it to anyone. Even an enemy who wanted a better shoe.
Good comfortable shoe with great support. I walk/run a lot of worn-down, washed-out trails and these provide great grip and also great comfort when stepping on exposed roots. The fit snugly without feeling constrictive. Round laces will always come loose, I go for the classic double-knot.
these are hands down my favorite pair of shoes I have owned. They are not the most comfortable I have ever owned but I feel like I can climb anything. Very tacky sole (by tacky I mean sticky/grippy), the covered toe is a great feature as well. Great style, I wear them everyday and I am going to buy another pair strictly for trail use. Good support from the footbed and sole-sturdy but not too stiff. They are like a sturdy cross trainer. At first the toe box felt too big but I am used to it now and tried a half size smaller but that was too uncomfortable. I wear a 9.5 in most brands and that is the size I went with in the Flow.
one thing I think is worthy to mention about these and I didn't in my review is I developed a squeak within the first week of wearing these. It sounded like air leaking out every time I stepped. After a couple weeks of squeaking I about snapped and set out to find it. What I discovered was right about where the balls of your feet are there are some plastic strips that run perpendicular to the red rubber, you can see in the images above. The plastic separated from the rubber a bit and created a pocket so every time I stepped it forced the air out. Long story short I filled it in with some super glue and 8 months later no probs.
My foot is size 11 and with my first pair of Montrails I went with 11.5, so I got these in 11.5 as well. The shoe is great. I broke them in with a 6 mile jaunt up to Elephant Rock and was pretty impressed with the roomy toe box, the sticky grip that it had on rock and dirt, and the stiffness of the sole. I like these shoes thus far, but I am hoping that the 11.5 was a good call with these shoes. I kinda feel that I am swimming in the shoe, though my toes are about a thumb width from the front. I am sure that a couple more hikes will show. Either way this shoe is great for those that pursue more than one thing in the mountains/ hills.
So far so good. I picked up these shoes about 2 weeks ago and they haven't left my feet since I got them. Haven't hit the trail running to much with them but have done some light hiking and they are super comfortable and I wear them all day without getting sore feet. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all-around shoe for on or off the trail. They seem to be pretty true to size too, I wear a 9.5 and I got a 10 just for a little extra toe room. Try them out!!
