Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe - Women's

The Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe is a hardcore shoe whose unique design has earned it a rabid following amongst adventure racers, ultra-marathoners, and runners who don't care much for pavement. The most immediately noticeable thing about the Vitesse is its form-fitting internal bootie. Simply put, the Vitesse feels like a sock when you slip it on, with maximum shoe to foot contact for comfort and control. It's a sock with teeth though. Luggy tread on a stiff sole protects your feet from rocks and debris, with an extra lug outside your instep to add extra protection against ankle roll. Mesh-vented uppers make for great breathability and work with the hydrophobic uppers to dry fast on the fly. No quarter asked and none given for weather or trail conditions with the Vitesse.

Bottom Line: Trails, trails and more trails. Roads are for wimps.

Pain Free

By:

My wife uses these shoes for daily wear. She has had severe lower leg and foot pain. Started using custom orthotics and initially Montrail over the ankle boots. After several years the orthotics and Montrail Vitesse are all she needs. She tried a variety of shoes that are billed as support, but the Montrail Vitesse are the only ones she has found to work. Great Shoes. Have improved her life dramatically the past 5 plus years.

I love these shoes- they are comfortable and sturdy and they last for miles. They are on the heavy side but I think they're worth it.

Not sturdy

By:

I returned because the side walls of this shoe seemed flimmsy...not enough trail support...like my foot could flex the shoe too much for hiking.

Awesome shoe

i can't wait to order this shoe in an 8.5. If you normally wear an 8, I had to go up a half size. Great for those with narrow heals. Hope that they come up with some more colors.

Finally - an awesome trail shoe!

By:

I've got a wide foot and am prone to twisting my ankles while running trails. These shoes provide great stability (although they are a neutral shoe). They have a wide toebox while being snug around my heel. I wasn't sure that I would like the attached tongue - but it assists in hugging my feet. The only drawback is that the shoes are a little hard to get on because of the attached tongue.

Great fit, but quality not what it used to be.

By:
May 15, 2007

I've worn this shoe for years and nothing fits my feet better: narrow heel and mid-foot, high arch, wider forefoot. With most shoes I get heel-slip -- not with the Vitesse! The support is incredible and cushoning is top-notch. My toes love the roomy toe box. Unfortunately, quality of construction seems to have slipped in the past couple of years, at least with two of the three pair I've had in that time. One pair had a broken lace loop in very short order (it appeared to have not been securely sewn and pulled away from the shoe on one end) so the shoes could not be properly tightened/laced. Of course this epic store stood behind the shoes. The right shoe of my current pair has poorly sewn inside seams that are opening up/falling apart on the lower part of the shoe -- very disappointing and they've hardly had any wear so I expect better. Good thing I bought them here as this pair is going back for replacement.

A great shoe

By:

This shoe fits my feet exceptionally well. It has very good support and balance and allows me to walk and run longer, ending with my knees and hips less tired. This is my second pair, and not my last.

ima gonna havta say 'yeah'...

The other review that spoke about the surprising satisfaction with these dumb-looking shoes was spot on. They definitely aren't flashy, or really all that cute, but they are far and away the most durable trail runners I've come across in a long time. The way the tongue is attached means that they fit snug on your feet. They are very supportive on the trails, and worked wonders on the Trail marathon I did. (I survived). They also fit true to size, so I was stoked I could actually order them online and not worry about the fit.

From the looks, I would have never guessed these shoes would become my favorite shoes. These shoes are very comfortable and fit true to size. I would purchase these shoes again.
