Montrail Streak

Montrail Streak Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Montrail Streak Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2009

This is a great trail shoe. I had moved away from Montrail to try some other options that were lighter and less bulky (after running the Vitesse for about 2 years). This shoe brought me back to the Montrail fold with it's nimble performance in the technical downhills and classic Montrail bomber construction. Looking forward to taking them out for their first 50m this weekend. I bought a half size smaller than I have previously with Montrail, don't know if this is a new trend for Montrail or just a little glitch with this shoe. Would be curious if others have noticed anything in their fit? More Miles!
++ Ran a 50m in them this past weekend, they were terrific! Best shoe I have used for ultra races. Great foot protection in rocky terrain in such a light shoe. My feet felt fine, better than after any other race I've done. I have been happy with shoes only to toss them after going big distances before, these are even higher in my book with a good distance trial.

Wildcat

La Sportiva Wildcat Trail Running Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva Wildcat Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 June 2, 2009

I like the free feel of this meshy shoe for the flats, but if you are thinking about running any terrain with moderate to steep descent, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I have run this shoe for about a month 1/2, distances up to 26 miles. I think the traction is good as most La Sportiva's, but the translation to the foot is not secure. I got my first blister in 3 years running laps on Mt. Wire. The problem is on the descent, the forefoot is just not secure with exclusively mesh support. I would re-tie the shoe multiple times on runs and still feel like she was getting loose in the corners. Probably good for Midwest rollers, but not a mountain trail shoe. More Miles!

Fireblade

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2009

Very good trail shoe. Lightweight, but well constructed to handle the rocky and technical terrain where I train. The impact absorption is where the sacrifice was made and even though I love the shoe, I no longer use them for runs over about 20 miles. It starts to feel like jackhammers on my feet. I'm 6'1" 170# so that may be the difference why some folks who are a little lighter, like Karl, can enjoy this shoe for ultradistances. If you're running rocky trails, especially where you want good turnover to push your downhill pace, this is a great shoe.
