Ultra/Trail Running

5/5

Overall

This is the shoe that eliminated every running injury. I added a metatarsal pad and with a improvement in form, this made ended my metatarsal and plantar fasciitis injuries. Now I'm running over 1,500 miles a year including multiple 50k's and my first 50 miler.

Don't see myself being able to do that without Lone Peaks!

Durability - every pair ends up having a similar hole on the big toe and a crease that develops into a rip over 8 months of running, but that comes with the territory....
