How it ranks
The norda 005 ranks above most trail shoes in our data. Comfort and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Good
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.
Confidence
34/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 2 runner ratings.

BuyPros
- One reviewer has 1,000 miles on a pair and calls it the fastest trail shoe he has run in.
- A 38mm heel stack at 8.0 oz, cushioned while keeping ground feel.
- One reviewer says the mesh upper breathes, drains and is extremely tough.
Cons
- It lists at $325, nearly twice the $170 median for trail shoes on sale, and one reviewer calls the initial cost high.
