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.
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.
Great shoe! Please note the sizing is slightly smaller than normal fresh foam and I needed to size up half a size.
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!
Perfect fit and performance, and so comfortable!
