T2 Kinabalu 2.0 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Now that you've nabbed a coveted spot in the Siskiyou Out Back 50 Mile race, better pick up the  the Scott Men's T2 Kinabalu 2.0 Trail Running Shoe to train, as well as for the big day itself. Light on your feet but relentless on the trail, the Kinabalu uses closed mesh on top and drainage ports on the bottom to keep your foot feeling good whether your chosen path is littered with streams, snow fields, or a brutal mix of sand, scree, and ice-covered puddles.

Closed mesh on toe lets fresh air in without exposing your toes to trail debris. Protection from off-road insults comes in the form of a toe bumper and skinny heel counter. AeroFoam makes the midsole 25% lighter and up to 50% better in cushioning efficiency  than its traditional EVA counterpart. Best of all, the eRide architecture shapes the midsole to resemble a rocking chair rail to help roll your foot smoothly through your gait cycle. This midsole geometry takes the energy of impact and uses it to move your forward faster and more efficiently.

Drainge ports are discreet exit routes on the toe and heel, so skipping through a stream doesn't leave your feet soggy for the next 35 miles. The rubber sole gives you great grip over a variety of surfaces for confidence with every step. Multi-directional lugs ensure stability up and down hills, over and across rain-slicked roots.
