This is a great looking shoe. Its aggressive for going on trails with the adequately studded Vibram sole. The downward slope of the shoe takes some getting used to, causing one to feel like they're walking on the balls of the feet. Not made for pavement running but decent for trails.

When I bought these I knew they were a bit small, but I decided to go with them an way (I have the hugest feet in the world, and it’s exceedingly hard to find boots that fit right.) I have used them for trail running, fast-packing/weekenders, scrambling, and bouldering, and have been very impressed thus far. I have experienced no real problems with durability despite the fact that I run an average of about 12-16 miles a week. I have had them for around eight months. The traction is great, and the insoles are adequate. They feel like house shoes. I even wear them to the climbing gym where I work (when they’re not too grimy.) Similar Products Used: Merrill Eagles. Vasque Alpine, Uproach shoes (not sure what the name is,) EMS mountaineering boots, lots of LaSportiva Climbing shoes and boots. |

This shoe is a great shoe for comfort and fit, but the durability is a little on the weak side. After only 6 hikes, the seams on the inside of the shoes started unraveling. It didn't affect the performance of the shoe (the traction is great) but it did affect the looks. Similar Products Used: My first pair. |

Very comfy and an amazing mix between trailrunners and light hiking boots. They're light but have a tough Vibram sole. They also look great, but the white part on top gets dirty easily. Best trailrunners I've owned. Similar Products Used: Montrail trailrunners, Brooks |

I have had these for a few months and I'm pleased so far. I've done trail runs up to 18 milers so far with no blisters, no sore feet. Soles seem to provide very good traction even in loose gravel. Paid $60 online. Bought a second pair. Similar Products Used: Nike, Asics |
