Second pair of these! My favorite for race day but I’ve taken them everywhere and loved them. Does really well with drainage but had enough cushion for rocky trails. Max distance I would use them for is a 50k. The fit was perfect and I didn’t experience any hot spots or breakdown in the upper. Even with the white color, they still scrubbed up nicely
Thanks for rating your purchase Kat!
Great trail shoe! Didn’t have to break them in. Already hit 30+ miles right after I got them. Did a trail marathon and they held up well! The handle is amazing and they give me confidence out on the trails. Highly recommend
This is my favorite running shoe, from training runs to competing at Skyrunning World Championships 70k - I love how grippy, lightweight, and rugged this shoe is. It makes me feel light and fast, but has the durability to keep my feet unharmed on rocky, technical trail.
Have only been wearing these occasionally for a little over a month and the color is already coming off the toe. The use has been for casual walks. Disappointed in the durability or lack there of.

Excellent grip on rocky, wet and muddy trails. Great fit on my neutral foot. No heel slippage. Love the low stack height, low drop stable feel.
Great trail shoes!!! Perfect traction for bouldering.
Bought in the Spring of this year. The color is cracking along where my toes bend. Looks like it may just split open. Saw other reviews with the same issue.
Flow. This shoe became a part of me. I love this shoe. I usually require extra room in the toe box - this upper is flexible enough to create that without too much extra space shifting around everywhere else. The drop is just right, the stack is just right. The shoe is me and I am the trail. Mud - sheds. Debris - not gathering in between us. Water & Sweat - evaporate. Laces - stayed tied even in the bushes. I love this shoe.
These shoes are LONG, too long but I love them. I am ran a 4 mile trail run, and I use them for crossfit metcons and some weightlifting. You can order a 1/2 size smaller on these because of the length.
We appreciate your feedback. If we can help please give us a call at 800-288-3124.
Love this shoe FINALLY Light weight and WHITE. I love my hiking shoes and have zero complaints but a girl sometimes wants light colors, bold colors and a great shoe. You finally did it ..thank you
