5/5

Overall

Best trail shoes I have run in. They have just under 300 miles of alot of single track some of which was pretty gnarly. Nice and flat allowing me to feel the ground while still protecting my foot. Cool colors as well.

5/5

Overall

Upper is solid and stays together through all the miles. Eventually the tread on the bottom wears out around 700 miles and the upper is still good.
