Some reviewers have mentioned that the sole is stiff. I am very interested in these and would like to know if anyone has anything else to say about how stiff they are. I primarily run barefoot or in sandals, so I'm a mid to fore foot striker, heel striking kills my knees and hips. Are these flexible enough for such a stride?
Thanks!

The shoe is not stiff. For trail running you want a shoe that'll ward off rocks. They don't feel stiff right out of the box for me.

I don't think you would have a problem in these at all. See my review. The traction in these shoes are great as well. I never felt the soles to be stiff, the shoe felt quite smooth out of the box. Hope this helps.
