La Sportiva Slingshot Running Shoe - Men's

Rim Running Delight

By Ranked #1795 - Men's Trail Run Shoes July 5, 2007

Slick Rock, Sand, Washes, Dirt, Gravel, Tuft, Cinders and one trip to the grocery store, these babies go anywhere. Unbelievably light, feels like running barefoot. Sole and footbed conform to rocks, roots and anything else you step on, feels like your gripping the earth. My feet are on the wide side and bent, but still shoes fit really well. And, as a plus, break in time was minimal, not a blister insight on the first run. One pinch point for me, on my left foot just above the attachment of the achilles tendon to the heel, but goes away after awhile.
Drawback – color-red and yellow look hot on the trail but really bad with black socks in the grocery store.
