not for pronators- great for others!
got these to replace the hardrocks, which I totally loved, except for the fact that the soles wore out quickly on the harsh trails in AZ. These are not the best for pronators, though they are cushy & the sole design, IMHO, should last longer than the hardrocks. I am purchasing the Sabino by Montrail (how apt, considering that is the name of a famous canyon in the town in which I live....) as these are a better option for pronators and those w/ flat feet. I wish this info would have been stated more clearly in other reviews.
Best for short technical trail runs
I bought these for a mix of fire road and technical trail running, but they don't have much cushioning so are best suited to shorter technical trail runs. I read a review somewhere about someone using these for an ultra, but not enough forefoot padding in my opinion (although i don't run ultras so maybe i just don't know...?) Nice grippy tread. I liked the plastic overlays on sides to lock down laces, but I have high insteps, so laces cut across top of foot making foot/toes cold and numb, even with high-instep lacing pattern. I sent them back, but they are probably fine if you don't have a high instep. Other than that, fit was great. Size was right on. I'm an 11 and fit well into size 11. Nice looking shoe too.
