Super Hot and Great in the MUD

By Matt Hart Ranked #3 - Women's Trail Run Shoes October 28, 2008

the highlander is one of my favorite shoes. it's a bit narrower than other montrails. it's designed after the "fell running" shoes they use in the UK. they run straight up the mtns and don't bother with trails. so the tread is super aggressive. i love it. it's got a bunch of lugs that grip the dirt better than any other trail shoe i've worn.. but where they excell is the mud. the lugs are built for mud running and they do this hands down better than any shoe on the market today. the upper is protective enough for some rugged terrain and it drains water extremely well. at just 10oz these shoes are light and simple, just the way i like them. i've even raced a 50km trail race in this shoe. it has just enough protection, cushion and comfort for 50km but not sure i'd wear them in a 50 miler. great shoe.
