Great trail running shoe for shorter distances

Portsmouthrunner · Dec 28, 2019

4/5

Overall

Durable, comfortable and good looking shoe for trail runs under 15 miles. Uppers have been far more durable than the Altras I also like. Outsole has good traction in a wide range of surfaces and conditions. Shoe would need more cushioning and through-sole protection for me to run in them for ultra distances. I use them primarily for training. Toebox has good room for my wide feet (went up 1/2 size)
