Item #INV0025 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Trail racing flat? Yes!

By Backcountry.com Employee May 7, 2008

While I don't wear these shoes to train in, I have run several 50Ks in these shoes and I have performed very well in them. They are very light, and can climb up a tree. Traction on these shoes are excellent - it is almost like a soccer cleat or a xc cleat for your hardcore trail runner. Not a lot of toe protection so be careful when you run on very rocky terrain. Also, not a lot of ankle support (I knew both of these things when I got the shoe). If you can handle them, they will make you feel like a pro!
