The grip and stability on technical terrain is amazing!
I've really enjoyed using these over the last few weeks on a variety of trail runs. The grip has been the standout feature for me, giving me much more confidence when running over different terrain! One thing I'd definitely recommend is sizing up by around half a size. I'd also say these are very much a dedicated trail shoe rather than a hybrid option. They perform brilliantly off-road, but I wouldn't choose them for runs that involve a lot of tarmac or road miles. Overall, they've been a great addition to my running shoe rotation, offering excellent grip, confidence on technical terrain, and a comfortable ride for trail adventures.
Love these trail runners, so comfortable and lots of grip. They are perfect for hiking trails and also just walking around my local area. Highly recommend.
Felt way too snug, gusseted tongue is a snatch band across midfoot in medium volume shoe. This may have fit well in a wider size, IF I had removed the gusset. Vibram outsole felt amazing, would have loved these shoes with a few tweaks. Expecting better lacing on the next version and more 2E availability. Beginnings of a great shoe. Narrow/Standard feet who enjoy a "secure" fit could find this a great option! Those seeking a roomier fit should look towards Nitrels.
Super comfy. Excellent grip on the trails but still wearable on the road. Highly recommend
These are great hiking shoes, I have a wider foot and the wide width in 1/2 size up ended up being perfect. So comfortable, stable, hug the trail. Looks great too!
The fit was perfect n almost made me felt the shoe was weightless.Nice colour combo and the vibram sole was amazing.Thanks
Great shoe! Please note the sizing is slightly smaller than normal fresh foam and I needed to size up half a size.
Perfect fit and performance, and so comfortable!
