La Sportiva Fireblades

By Brent Thornton Ranked #697 - Men's Trail Run Shoes March 22, 2010

I'm new to the fireblades put in some good miles on them both on and off trail. The shoe is minimal and efficient. It tends to run small and narrow compared to other shoes that I've tried, so go larger. The shoe has been great for both the trail and getting out on the road. The sleeve over the lower laces is great on keeping debris out of the shoe. The toe bumper is solid to protect against the ocassional kicked rock. The sole provides plenty of proctection on the trail. Know going into the purchase that the shoe is just what I've described. If you are looking for a cushy ride this isn't the shoe. If you are looking for an efficient shoe for most any terrain then this is it. My only drawback on the shoe is that it runs a bit narrow, but it's nothing to knock the shoe.
