Awesome shoe

By Ranked #1109 - Men's Trail Run Shoes February 3, 2009

I love this shoe. Let me preface it, however, with the fact that I am not a trail runner. I use it for indoors in the gym. Most recently, cardio boxing class, and other indoor work-outs. It is light weight compared to what I had been wearing (ie. Nike / NorthFace). It is very nice looking, and the lacing system is truly sic. Aside from the boa system on my NorthFace, this is the slickest lacing system. It works great and stores the lace in it's own little pouch. The cushioning doesn't seem quite as thick as some, but it feels adequate, and I would think you might like the extra "feel" of the trail if you were outside running. It breathes nicely, unlike my NF's that have Gore-tex, and seem to heat up my feet too much. I am a big fan of these shoes, and will be a repeat customer, if they hold up to some wear and tear. They are too new for me to tell how durable they will be, but so far so good. I ordered 1/2 size large, as I normally do (because everyone else's shoes seem to run small). They have plently of room, and you could probably order your true foot size and be just fine.

I am a trail runner and they work great for me. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2010 wearing these shoes, the first pair lasted 1,000 trail miles and the second pair lasted for over 1,100+ trail miles..!!
