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.

Trailroc 245 rates 80. This shoe has low confidence. See how we rate shoes.

5/5

Overall

Best trail shoes I have run in. They have just under 300 miles of alot of single track some of which was pretty gnarly. Nice and flat allowing me to feel the ground while still protecting my foot. Cool colors as well.

Overall

Upper is solid and stays together through all the miles. Eventually the tread on the bottom wears out around 700 miles and the upper is still good.
