Awesome shoe

By Clarke Ranked #897 - Men's Trail Run Shoes July 11, 2010

I was hesitant to switch from Montrails, but am glad I did. These are phenomenal shoes. I'm 5'11'', 175 lbs, run anywhere from a 5K to 20K in the mountains. I'm a neutral runner, and these work for me. Better at keeping out scree than any other shoe I've tried.

The traction--it's a trade-off. You're giving up surface area for bite with those lugs, so these are slipperier on rock than other shoes. Not by much--I haven't fallen yet. What you get in exchange is incredible grip on loose dirt/rock, grass, and mud. I can literally run faster because I have more traction.

Sum it up--I'm headed back to REI today for another pair. They're that good.
