Comfortable, capable, and fun Trail Running Shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
First run in this shoe was a 9 mile/1330 ft trail run! Great first impression. The shoe has a sock like gaiter that wraps around your ankle, but also extends down into your forefoot where your laces cross and almost feels like a compression sock. Cushinoning was comfortable and supportive! Pretty rad shoe from TNF and well worth a try!
