My third pair

By bostonmtnman Ranked #2498 - Men's Trail Run Shoes March 29, 2006

I love these shoes. They are rigid enough for hiking, but flexible enough to run in. They are also considered a mid-rise, which gives them great ankle support, and the mostly-mesh upper has amazing ventilation, largely due to the Gore-Tex XCR. I actually use these as my backpacking "boot" because I'm an ultralighter and rarely carry more than 25lbs. They are more than adequate for this type of use. I also use the non-Gore-Tex model for my tennis shoes. I can see why they've garnished several awards for these. They're outstanding!
