Lowa Arete Lo Trail Running Shoes (For Men)

Much more comfortable to run in than my Chuck's

I've bought this shoe for running in the Mtns around Phoenix and have only used it a couple of times, so these are my first impressions. Overall, I like the shoe, lots of traction and support on uneven and loose terrain. The shoe feels heavier than what I've used in the past (mostly asics trail runners), but that's a price I'm willing to pay for the stability and may get "lighter" feeling as these break-in. I've been a long time Asics fan and my sizing is consistently an 11 in the Asics. I read the sizing suggestions to order 1/2 size larger but stuck with size 11, if anything these are slightly larger then my trusted Asics. Not so much that it's problematic for the distances I run (<5k), but this could be an issue on longer distances.

Great shoe! would buy a hundred pair if I could.... Afford it.

One shoe gave me a slight blister at first, but only required a little break-in (Got it from an hour run the day I got them). Since then, they have been the most comfortable shoes I think I have ever owned.

Wore this shoe almost every day for 6 months. Still holding together but well worn. A great looking, comfortable, long lasting shoe. Works in dry/moist weather on trails, grass street.

Lowa Arete Lo did not provide support to foot from shoe upper. Thin sole under ball of foot. Color as stated. Returned becuase of lack of structural support.

too stiff for long runs but excellent for outings where boots are not requisite

I usually wear size 11 and the 11 1/2 fits me fine. This is my second pair. I use them around town, not on out on the trail - the toe area isn't well protected. Very comfortable.

purchased these for a Father's Day gift.

I'm an avid trail runner. I was really excited to receive these shoes. I used them for past 1 week in my regular trails. They are not that comfortable. I saw the raving reviews and ordered them. I use ASICS nimbus 10, they are much more comfortable and provide good arch support, stability. Again the price on these shoes are not that expensive, so you get what you pat for.They look good on the picture but not when you wear it yourself.
