5/5

Overall

A super low to the ground trail shoe that is perfect for the minimalist runner wanted just a touch more protection than 0-drop shoes. Perfect for non-super technical trails and even roads. The only surface I've ran on with it that I dislike it in is talus/sharp rocks. I'm a high school xc runner (~15:45 for 5km), and this is what I race in for xc (and possible track). I wore them for a recent two mile time trial, and they felt just like a low profile racing flat. Since this is a shoe with so little cushioning, I was able to run 1000 miles in it before I felt the need to replace it.
