These are not typical trail-running shoes. They are light, light, light. Which means they are *not* for everyone. If you're in the Clydesdale category, or you need a shoe with lots of support and/or stability control, these are not for you. On the other hand, if you are of athletic build, have trouble-free feet and normal running gait, and you want to run *fast* on trails, then you are going to love these shoes. The feel of running at breakneck pace over uneven terrain is exhilarating. The shoes are super grippy, and have a stiff enough sole so that running over rocks and stumps is still very pleasant. These are probably not shoes that you will want to train in day after day (although I have to say that they are surprisingly forgiving), and certainly not what you'd wear over a really rocky course (the sole is fine, but the ultralight uppers will get cut up fast, as will your feet inside!) But come race day, these are *exactly* what you're looking for. Zoom!

Finally, a note about sizing: I'm a fairly regular US 10 in most running shoes, and found the 10 to be a little on the snug side. The 10.5 however, was noticeably too big. So I guess they run just a smidgen on the small side.
