Outside’s ’09 Spring Buyer’s Guide says of the Montrail Mountain Masochist, “... light and agile, it has just enough padding and midsole ... for those of you who spend lots of time in the pain cave.”

Breathable nylon mesh uppers with supportive synthetic leather overlays offer superb flexibility and ventilation; gusseted tongues keep trail debris out
Nylon linings wick moisture off your feet and dry quickly to keep feet comfortable
Triple-density Vapor-Response™ EVA midsoles are exceptionally lightweight yet still offer great response and comfort over the miles
Trail Shield™ thin hard EVA plates protect against stone bruising by dispersing point pressure; molded midfoot thermoplastic urethane shanks supply torsional rigidity
Aggressive Gryptonite rubber outsoles feature a multidirectional tread pattern for traction on rugged trails and paved paths

Average weight specification is per pair, based on size 9.

Imported.

Comments about Montrail Mountain Masochist Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:

I run my 6'3", 200 lb. frame for about 10 to 20 hours per week on mountain trails. Over the years, I've run in many models made by Montrail, Vasque and Soloman, but generally prefer the trail adaptations from traditional running shoe companies. The Masochist is light, flexible and fits like a glove, making it agile on technical trails yet fast on smooth surfaces. I did a long run right out the box with no rubs or stiffness. Still, don't expect a road-shoe feel. While providing a stable, well-cushioned ride and lock-down heel for steep decents, the Masochist falls a bit short in mid-foot support for my narrow flexible foot, making the heel-to-toe transition somewhat clompy. Still, the Masochist is a far better runner than most so-called "running" shoes sold by hiking boot manufacturers, and probably the best stability running shoe Montrail has ever made, even besting the venerable Leona Divide of yesteryear. (Montrail's Hard Rock provides superior mid-foot support and rock protection, if you can tolerate the stiffness and extra weight.)
