Track Shoe

By Ranked #259 - Men's Trail Run Shoes September 22, 2008

The moment I put these shoes on they reminded me of my high school track shoes. Their fit is fairly true to size. I wear a 10.5 Asic road shoe and I purchased a 10.5 in these. The toe box is roomy and the heel cup does just that, cup your heel. The shoe is fairly snug around the arch and the top of the foot. However, while they are snug, it is not uncomfortable at all. Infact, I believe it is part of the design of the shoe. The tread is like wearing tiger claws on your feet. The only way you could get more traction would be to wear actual track spikes. The extensive traction is tremendously helpful on step downhill runs. I would describe the cushioning as being designed for offroad use only. I would also consider the shoe to be a race day shoe and would not want to train extensively in these shoes. I would also refrain from road use. Due to the large treads on the shoe, pavement will wear them bald quickly.
