Awesome shoe, if a little overbuilt

I just picked up a pair of these and they're probably the best fit I've had out of the box. I have a narrow, low volume foot and I barely have to tie these things for a perfect fit without pressure points. They feel light on my feet, but I think that may be a function of the perfect fit and relatively low profile, for they certainly aren't super lightweight compared to shoes like the New Balance MT100. In fact, my only complaint about the shoe is that there are some unnecessary cosmetic features, such as the lace guard.

Furthermore, the tread on these soles is totally excessive. I've never had a problem with traction in any shoes, in the mud of the New England woods, the singletrack trails of the Colorado Front Range, or the loose gravel of the Utah desert; I find that careful balance and a more conservative stride in potentially slippery situations can provide similar benefits.

When will BC.com stock the SkyLite?
