Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Good shoe. Outsole wears quickly, lacks softness of Kiger 1.

Bought them at Rogue Valley Runners in Ashland, Oregon before the Mt Ashland Hill Climb. I run exclusively on trails and love these shoes!
