Superb Trail shoe for all terrain
3 weeks ago
I have used these for 3 different trail races now and they are the best all around trail shoe I have ever had. I did one 50K, 100K and a 50 mile and they excelled on all different terrain from smooth single track to technical rocks and roots, river crossings and mud with very little to no slippage. They are very comfortable and with the soft heel cup they are perfect for anyone with Haglund's Deformity. Also being lightweight is a plus when doing long trail races. I have never felt uncomfortable in them even after 10 hours or more I could keep wearing them. As with all the other shoes in the Vective line up I have used I wear a Balega blister resistant sock just to make sure the Kevlar lining doesn't make a wear spot somewhere. I have yet to get a blister while wearing these.

Too comfortable, they are light and react very well at a fast pace. On descents and technical terrain they are amazing! I would buy them again a thousand times.
