Read More This shoe handles casual and groomed trails fine. Very light and breathable. However,under intense trail running/racing the shoe felt unstable. 150+ lb runners will be irritated by the bigger trail rocks. Felt sketchy and unstable on medium sized rocks/roots. Shoe upper lamination sounded like wrinkling paper. Compare other shoes before buying. -

Read More Super comfortable. These enable and encourage forefoot striking when running, without the jarring impact of running barefoot. Great for hard dirt, muddy, rocky, and/or bumpy trails. The lightness of the shoe adds comfort, and the breathability keeps your feet from sweating too badly. -
Aug 15, 2012Top StuffGreat for trail running and bush bashing. Minimalist style but with great cushioning. Not waterproof. Very good value for money.

Read More I believe a good test for a shoe is whether they still feel good after a ultra marathon. I was skeptical at first, but surprisingly they handled very well in the wet, muddy, rocky, sandy, hilly terrain. After the 50 miles they still felt very good. No pain no blisters, no worries about my feet. -

Read More They are bright, but I've actually gotten several compliments on the brightness. :) Otherwise, very comfortable to wear all day. When running, they do encourage you to lean towards more of a toe strike, but still have decent cushioning. -

Read More I've been running in vibram five fingers for 2 years without injury - 10ks, half & full marathons. I decided to start transitioning to trail running and play it safe by getting shoes with more protection but still minimal on orthotics. I did my very best to like these shoes. I gradually increased use on a variety of surfaces over the course of a month. No matter what I did, they hurt until finally I wound up with inflammation of the plantar fascia and achilles tendon. Fortunately, I bought these at REI where I am a member and was able to return them without a problem. As soon as I heal I plan to buy the vibram trail runner - the spyridon - at REI, of course. -

Read More I use these shoes to run on trails with my dog. I thought because my legs were always tired I was just getting old. Then I purchased these shoes and it totally relieved the tightness and fatigue in my legs and back. I tend to run more on the ball of my feet rather than rolling from heal to toe. These shoes feel light and comfortable.
