Excellent grippy trail shoe

4/5

Overall

This shoe is a really comfortable fit. The sock liner is really nice and just hugs the ankle but there still seems to be enough stability in the shoe and around the ankle. I have used the shoe on technical terrain running hard and the sole is very grippy. unlike other grippy shoes where they tend to be bulkier this one isn’t. it feels genuinely fast.
