Pros

  • One reviewer finds the outsole very grippy, and does not feel every rock on the trail.
  • One reviewer has 200 miles on a pair and expects another 200 easily.
  • One reviewer ran a trail half marathon in it with no problems, and says it drains water well.

Cons

  • At 11.9 oz it is much heavier than the 8.9 oz median for trail shoes on sale.

Overall

This is a great all-purpose trail shoe that also works well on the road. The outsole is very grippy, it drains water well, and you don't feel every rock on the trail. I ran a trail half-marathon in these shoes and had zero problems with it. So far I've put 200 miles on them and should get another 200 miles easily.
