Re great shoe

Anonymous runner · Jul 13, 2019

5/5

Overall

I love the shoe ran my first 50 k in it I think. For future shoes I might order a half size bigger so I can put on a thicker sock wen needed. I like the gore tex shell and the rugged construction if I hit a branch or something it hasn’t torn yet! Great winter early spring late fall shoe especially when there’s snow
