I have to agree, these shoes rock! However, the one fault I've found with them is the lack of a gussetted tongue. The small rocks of volcanic Washington peaks love to work their way down into the shoe, and not even the best gaiters can fully prevent this. They have survived 400 miles of rough trail on the PCT last summer, and still look fairly new, and the soles are still going strong! So if you can surmount the pebble issue, definitely pick up a pair of these. Customer Service no experience as yet Similar Products Used: new balance 805 old Salomon Raidproofs |

The best quality trail shoe I've ever used! Nothing else can touch these shoes. The sole wears like iron and they don't fill up with mud on wet trails. Great stability, support and protection from stone bruises. Light weight and they dry fast. Customer Service Never needed. Similar Products Used: New Balance, Asic, L.L. Bean. These other brands aren't even in the same class as Montrail. I will continue to buy them as long as they make them. |

Wow, I am a big guy, and these shoes just hug my feet and feel so comfy. I usually tear through shoes at the rate of one pair for every 3-4 months, but I have had these since August(9 months)and they have not complained yet. The soles are still in unbelievably good shape, and the only areas showing true wear are the mesh ventilation holes(frays started when they got caught on some thorns) and in the heel pocket which is mostly just do to my slipping them on and off without untying them. They just feel like slippers on my feet, but still protect my soles like boots. I am definately going to buy from Montrail again. Customer Service Haven't had to use them yet, and doubt I ever will Similar Products Used: Nike, New Balance, and Adidas trail running shoes, nothing compares though |

To date best trail running shoe for a big person; my weight 230pds. Great traction, protection from rocks with nylon insole plate, very snug and comfortable like a glove. Customer Service NA Similar Products Used: Brook Gila II(note as comfortable, supportive, nor protects from sharp rocks and other objects) |

None The best trail, I''ve owned to date! Very stable(I weigh 230pds), great traction and very water resistant. I''ve covered short to long distances in these shoes. These are still one of the best on market. Have also used for mountain biking! Customer Service Have not had to use them, no problems as of yet. Similar Products Used: Brooks Gila I(not has stable and does not protect feet from rocks as well). |

Love these shoes...good traction, very stable. I tend to stay away from high stability shoes on the road, but these are fantastic for the trails. I've been running 40+ miles/wk (rough trails)on these for about two months with absolutely no problems. Great shoe for very rocky or very loose terrain. Similar Products Used: None |

I was very pleased with these shoes when I first got them. They are comfortable, light, and have a nice agressive tread. However, the sole seem to be falling apart after only 3 months of wear Similar Products Used: None |

These shoes rock, especially at the price that I got them at. The shoes are tough, comfortable and super supportive. I could not run more than a couple of miles for several years because of foot pain. That all changes when I went to the Vitesse. This is my second pair and I love them. Similar Products Used: None |
