Great Shoe

I really like this shoe, I am new into trail running and this shoe has really helped to ease the transition. The grip is great on anything but wet rock. The cushioning is good enough to run on the road a bit which is good because I have to run to the trail. The toe box is huge which is good for me but might not be great for some. They are nice and light (mine are 14s) so light is really important to me.
The best thing about them is the boa lacing system, it is great just to be able to pop the shoes of and on easily. I do question the durability but so far so good. I though it would look dorky kinda like a new version of Velcro but instead they just look high tech and people comment on how sweet they are!
I am taking away one star because the plastic design on the side is starting to peal a touch at one of the points, I don't think it will peal further but if it gets snagged it will.
Overall it is a great shoe that will take the miles well and the BOA lacing system rocks, I am sad to see that it is already being phased out of the shoe world.
