Nice Shoe for the price, and for specific conditions.

The rocky trails near here tear up my non-trail shoes something fierce. I think the standard lower density EVA utilized in most road shoes is far too soft for rocks and gets cut up pretty badly. I always have my road shoes with me but ALWAYS forget my other trail shoes at home (which are also getting long in the tooth), so I picked up these trail shoes up to just keep in my running bag.One of the biggest knocks I have against trail running shoes in general is weight and inflexibility. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this shoe suffered neither of those standard traits. Perhaps the minimal-esqueness of this shoe is the reason. It does not have massively thick forefoot eva or a thick clunky sole which allows for a quite a bit of forefoot flexion and less of a cloppy feel. I find this to be a great trade off, not quite minimalist, but not nearly as bulky as a standard cushioning trail shoe either. I find that these shoes are the PERFECT off road mate to my NB 750V1s. They feel almost the same, low and fast. In fact, they actually feel quite a bit cushier using the exactly same powerfeet blue insoles as I use in my 750s. THAT I did not expect at all.My initial run of 7mi was fantastic. I think overall, if you run on hardpack, crushed gravel, or single track dirt trails these shoes would be a fantastic option for you. However, if you run a lot on larger gravel or rougher exposed rock, I expect the lack of a full rubber sole may not be quite as durable as the new full vibram soled ones. Additionally, I am curious how these would do in wet conditions or if run on the road for any length of time. The sole on this shoe utilizes a number of (around 30) round nubs that vary in size from a dime to a quarter. Each of these nubs have tiny traction points on them which I would suspect will get worn pretty quickly and become somewhat nonexistent after a couple hundred miles. So once the tiny traction points get worn, Im curious if this shoe would become somewhat slick, and need to stick to roads. Unsure.This being said, from a design aspect, I appreciate the rubberized toe, the heel loop, and the cool color and design. Overall, for its intended purpose for me, single track and hardpack/chert/MUT, it will be perfect. It is a nice, low price, and low weight trail option for those in between a cushioned and minimalist shoe.

Great shoe
By Ajwilly2
I was a little worried about buying shoes online, but I found this was easy. The shoe is very comfortable and feels like a sock. Very nice shoe

I initially bought a pair of these for mountain biking. But, I find myself wearing them much more often. If you're familiar with the old track shoes called "racing flats", that is what these remind me of. They're very light and flexible but still give good stability. I can't speak for the tread for running, but it's fine for mountain bike pedals and just casual wear. I think these would be a good cross country or short distance racing shoe in addition to just a comfortable, casual shoe. I'll be buying more shoes of this style.
