A bit heavy but great on trails

Anonymous runner · Jul 12, 2018

5/5

Overall

This shoe feels a bit heavy for me, but I normally wear kinvaras so I might be bias. After repeatedly falling on trails I decided I needed a trail shoe for traction, and I havent falken once. I also wear these on the roads for really slow recovery runs several times for week.
