great for descents but big

By newbietrailer Ranked #1794 - Men's Trail Run Shoes May 9, 2007

Based on two runs so far (5-6 mi), on very rough, steep single track (rocks, branches, very irregular rain-altered, pine needle covered off camber with drop offs). The shoes work well on this type of rough, irregular terrain, and you actually feel the spikes taking the shock of the foot strike. This is especially noticeable on the descents, where the Trail Fly really shines. Even on an extremely steep 3 mile descent, without holding back, the shock was absorbed and my feet and ankles did not suffer any injury. Good support. Me: 5ft 8in, 150lbs, Size 9.5, D. The fit was too wide overall (esp forefoot). Using the low volume insole, my toes were pointed up. Low mark is for fit; performance was great.
