Hiking shoes, not trail runners

By Joshua Keith Ranked #1129 - Men's Trail Run Shoes February 23, 2009

I bought these shoes as hikers not runners and have found them well suited to the job. The sole is stiff and supports well. The gaiters are worth much but they do keep scree and snow out of your socks. They're durable- after several months of use only the 'La Sportiva' lettering is falling off. I've tried running with them- imagine strapping a pair of bricks to your feet. If you were doing adventure races- ie jogging- then maybe these would work, but they're just not nimble enough to handle anything else.
