Whether on rocky trails or muddy paths, their superior traction keeps you steady. Lightweight yet rugged, they’re a must-have for serious trail runners.

Let me preface by saying I’m not an experienced hiker or runner. My husband and I just love to do a 4 1/2 mile trail near us for fresh air—and cardio. After reading reviews I decided on these. I wore them today and felt like a mountain goat. Wow! Now for my pros and con:Pro:*I love the tread. I felt confident climbing rocks and splashing in mud.*They feel really comfy on my feet. I wear a 10 normally so I ordered a 10. They are only about a half inch too big which is fine. I can wear thicker socks.*I like the narrow feel. I have narrow feet so seeing other wide looking trail runners concerned me. These are narrow and I felt I had room inside.*The mud rinsed off the bottom easily when we returned home.*My feet stayed dry, even after crossing a waterfall.Cons:*I would rather have regular shoestrings. I don’t like the thin drawstring situation. I’m afraid I’ll break them. They also didn’t stay tight the entire hike.*They are ugly. Ha! I haven’t found any that necessarily showcase my style so for the record, I think they’re all ugly.*I need more ankle support. I’m ordering the neoprene ankle support things.All in all, I think I’ll enjoy these. We hike 3-4 times a week so I will know soon. I will update if I find them not up to par for an inexperienced chick.

Sturdy structure/great traction. Love the quick fastening laces. My feet feel well supported in these shoes. I wish the lugs and shoe lasted longer but I’m HARD on shoes running elevation which means lots of downhills. I’ve tried many shoes and the better ones average me the same lifespan. When I no longer use for trail running, I use for everyday. The fit definitely supports my feet. I can’t go barefoot or where cheap shoes or my feet breakdown and body aches start. I’ve never worn Wide fit shoes but last order sent was a WIDE size. If you suffer from blisters on toes running steep downhills the extra toe box room solves. Just ran back to back 16+mi 4000+ elev gain mntn trails. Amazed at how good my feet feel. Just bought 2nd WIDE pair to rotate on downhills.

I actually wear these for softball. I play travel ball and wearing a pair of cleats all day for several games is not ideal. These are very comfortable and work great. Well built and good grip

Update: 2/17/22I still really like these shoes, but recently had me feet measured for a new pair of work shoes (I'm a nurse). Ends up I need more room in the toebox. After wearing a pair of Brooks that are the correct size, I find these shoes are too tight in the toebox. When I put the insoles that I need for arch support in them, it makes the problem worse. The reason I took I star off though is because the tread is wearing what seems to me to be really fast. See picture. The left is worse than the right. These have roughly 150 miles on them. My Garmin seems to think 400 miles is when you should retire shoes. If that is correct, these will not make it that long. When I did research on other brands, I was finding some in the same price range that people were getting 600 miles out of. I plan to re-home these and buy a pair that are the correct size.I love these shoes. They are super comfy, look really cute and grip the ground like nobody's business. I had been using them on paved routes, so I knew they were good there, but recently had the opportunity to use them on a trail that was mixed terrain. They handled great! There were rocky parts, slightly muddy areas, tree roots, and a steep downhill grade that was rocks. I didn't slip or turn my ankle once. I have a chronic back injury and I worry about falling and causing a flare up. I have enough confidence in these shoes that I feel that as long as I use my normal amount of caution, these shoes have my back. I also really like the quick laces, I didn't know if I would, but they are great. Just look at the paper explaining how to route them to "tie" them. Super easy.I hate ordering shoes without trying them on. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7. Amazon recommended a 6.5 and seeing as how I didn't know which size I needed, I went with it. The fit perfect.

Absolute perfection. The way these cradle your feet is amazing. Great arch support; very durable. The stability and traction for hiking is incredible. No they are not a sneaker but still my go to for stormy day foot wear. Recommend 10/10.

Super comfy
