I've been running in these shoes for about a month, running about 170 miles Arizona mountain and desert miles in them. I've been very impressed and will likely buy another pair. The outsole is very durable, with no exposed EVA to speak of. Even over miles and miles of sharp rocks it appears to be holding up extremely well. I usually try to get 300 miles out of a shoe, and both the out and mid soles seem to indicate this won't be an issue. No issues with the rock plate, foot pain, or ground feel running chossy trails and rock gardens. Long runs are about 16 miles right now, they are comfortable the whole time. The upper is interesting, but I have to say I really like it. It is made if an extremely thin plastic mesh with the rand and lower coated in TPE. It is a little "slippery" around the foot, which for me has meant no blisters and a shoe that actually winds up being quite supple. No issues with durability at all. Overall I think this is a great functioning show with some thoughtful design choices. I have a 50 mile event after this training block and would not hesitate to bring this shoe.
I decided to take one for the team and try this brand i had not heard of before. I was pleasantly pleased as i have put many trail miles on them. The have great cushioning, fantastic traction in the mud and are super lightweight. The fabric is ultra thin on the top and i can actually see my socks through them. I sas concerned about how thin this fabric is, but it breathes well and has not worn through.
