Great durable trail shoe

By Corbin Ranked #520 - Men's Trail Run Shoes June 10, 2009

I've been running in a pair of La Sportiva Imogenes for about 6 months - training, racing, you name it. These shoes have a stiffer sole that some, which is great for rocky conditions but make them feel a tad clunky at times. Deep lugs dig well in soft stuff too. Excellent cushioning for extended runs - absorbs shock very well but doesn't mush and let the ankle roll. Lots of mesh keeps things cool and airy. Long break-in period. Be prepared for that. The shoes break in slowly but take longer to wear out. I have a few hundred miles on them and they are going strong. Toebox is roomy and supportive. Visibly bland; you don't buy these to get girls attention. I bought a pair to keep in the closet for the day when I retire my current pair. This is a comfortable, durable shoe with great support. Get a pair before La Sportiva phases them out for something trendier.
