Norda 005 is more than worth the cost

5/5

Overall

Exceptional race day shoe for trails. While initial cost is high, they're incredibly durable, fast and light. The upper breathes and drains well, is extremely tough and comfortable. The outsole is grippy, sheds debris easily and wears well. The midsole is arguably the one of best available for comfort and energy return. Despite the cost this shoe is great value as it will significantly outlast its competitors and can certainly handle numerous ultra distance races. It's an exceptional choice for faster trail races where deep mud is not a significant concern.
