Best Shoes Ever
Yes , I recommend this product
I don’t say this lightly, but these are the best shoes I’ve ever had. They immediately fit incredibly well and have had zero break-in period. They’re comfortable, durable,

They are NOT “just sneakers”…
Yes , I recommend this product
I have cranky feet, wide toe and narrow heel, not to mention multiple foot surgeries. When I read about Norda I wondered if maybe just maybe this shoe might be my unicorn shoe. I wear a women’s 10.5/11 in a trail shoe so I ordered both the Jen’s 9 & 9.5 after finding out they last is the same for men and women’s sizes. When they arrived I found the 9.5 to be the perfect fit, but more than that they were comfortable right out of the box! I be have worn them all day everyday for a week now and I can’t stop saying how comfortable they are. I’m looking forward to taking them on a hike soon. To the person who said these are “just sneakers”…I beg to differ. There are incredibly sophisticated, well made, durable shoes. Great pains were taken to address all the nagging fit issues in most high end running/trail shoes. Are they expensive, yep they sure are but in my opinion, and the opinion of my cranky feet, they are worth every penny. Thank you Norda. Hey REI please carry the 001aG+!

Great for off road (only)
Interesting Shoe. This shoe is clearly made with quality materials and craftsmanship, it felt very nice to put on and use. The aesthetic looks a bit more stumpy in-person than online to me but pretty neat. The running experience on terrain felt great and I always felt stable and dry, even in snow. On firmer surfaces these shoes weren’t very forgiving, I wouldn’t wear these if my run includes any use on pavement / packed gravel. Good shoe, mid-value.

PLEASE GOD DON’T EVER STOP MAKING THIS SHOE
They’re soooo comfy. Can’t wait to see how they do backpacking next summer. Only complaint (minor) is they seem to kick up a lot of water when walking on wet pavement/through puddles and the backs of my calves get soaked. But maybe this is just me.

Great shoe but need larger sizes.
Yes , I recommend this product
Amazing shoe! Need at 14! They run small, I usually wear a 13, but the 13 is way too snug with an Injinji liner, and a mid weight Darn Tough. Which is unfortunate because this is an awesome shoe.
