Good not great.

By Chris Taylor Ranked #32 - Men's Trail Run Shoes June 4, 2009

I originally purchased this shoe as a runner. It has become my short, few rocks with little talus, simple day hike shoe. I currently run in the Fireblades and Wildcats—both made by La Sportiva. I use the FC 1.1 as my more all day hiker and scramble shoe. The good about the shoe is the heel cup and toe box are great. The traction is stable and grippy. The red spikes on the sole have had a tendency to wear more quickly than the rest of the shoe. I would like to see a little more cushion in this shoe as it seems to be a tweener of the Fireblade and Wildcat—both are better shoes. I was also a bit irritated at the amount of dirt entering into the material above the toes—more than most shoes. It seems like a shoe La Sportiva could do without in its lineup of mountain runners.
