    Pros

    One reviewer gets about 700 miles before the tread wears out, with the upper still good.

    A low 18mm stack and a 3mm drop, and one reviewer says it lets them feel the ground.

    At 9.2 oz, and one reviewer finds it still protects the foot on gnarly single track.

    Cons

    Its 18mm heel stack is half the 36.5mm median for trail shoes for sale.
