By amp from Savannah on 11/07/2009 Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got them yesterday. Just finished 9 miles...mostly on greenway and a couple on asphalt. Nice, nice shoe for me. I love the snug midfoot. The tongue is nice and padded, just the way I like trail shoes. I have a narrow foot so plush shoe parts always help...the collar is nice too and locks my heel in just fine. Cool that the rest of the shoe is built rather minimally though....keeps it lightweight but it's still rather sturdy feeling. I also love the roomy and very breathable toebox...very comfy. The mostly open mesh I imagine wouldn't work well for cold climates but here in coastal GA. it's exactly what I look for. Makes for a well draining, quick drying shoe too. I crossed two shallow creeks and they didn't get heavy at all.
Some of the reviews said the cushioning was soft in the heal. I didn't get that perception at all but then I have been running in Nike Lunaglides for several months now so my perspective is probably way off. The ride and transition were quite fast feeling and smooth.
As far as the outsole goes, I have no idea. The conditions here are pretty dry right now so no mud to slide on or pick up in the groves. I'll have to report on that later.
Great shoe and value here. This is by far the cheapest place for this shoe that I've found. I assume this model is about to be updated or replaced so I recommend not waiting on this deal if this shoe fits your profile.

They have a great arch support, but I do have a high arch. These are definitely my "favorite trail shoes."
