"Protective Shoe" - Review of Vasque Mercury Trail Running Shoe - Men's

The Mercury's are a very comfortable and protective shoe. The toebox is wide and has a good bumper, which combined protects well against toe stubs on rocks and stuff. The fit is good overall except I do feel that the heel is wide. I've also used the Blur and found the fit of that shoe's heel to be a bit more narrow. I used the Mercury recently to run the entire Massanutten 100 mile ultra race. This race is known for its rocky trails. I thought the Mercury was very protective against the rocks. The only downside was that I thought the shoes took a long time to dry out after they got wet.
