Superior rugged terrain shoe

By Karl Meltzer Ranked #7 - Men's Trail Run Shoes February 17, 2009

I ran in two different LS shoes during the Appalachian Trail Assault (2176 miles of rugged terrain). The Lynx provided great support once broken in. It took a few miles to break them in because of the stiff "rock protector" underneath the forefoot, but once broken in they performed perfectly. The flexibility came around, and with a slightly lower profile I did not once roll and ankle. Something I'm prone to with stiff shoes. When the mud, wet rocks, and roots were slick, the shoe gripped like a vice. From sideways to forward, slipping was a rare option. When winter comes, and running on snow is an option, these will work great!
