I got these Wander trail runners last week, I really love them. I'm not a huge runner but go for short jogs, and I just don't really love wearing a running shoe as my daily driver. However these Wander's just fit and look a bit more like a cross training shoe, not like I'm lacing up for the Boston Marathon. The weight and breathability really stood out, as the summer heats up I can tell these will quickly be a mainstay in my shoe rotation. So far I've done more hiking, long boarding, and biking in these than I have running. If I had a gripe, because this is a review, I'd just say that the white outsole does darken from asphalt. But like who cares, it's just the tread, the black midsole looks super fresh still.
These have been exactly what I was looking for—lighter but sturdy enough for trails/hiking, plus not so hiking oriented that they’re out of place in the city.
