The Best
By far the BEST trail shoe I have ever owned. The support, stability, and traction make this the BEST trail shoe ever. Also very stylish for my everyday Arizona shoe, will be buying more colors.

Super Shoe
I love the Rucky Chucky! This is my second pair and I also switched from Nike to TNF last year. I am a size 13 and this shoe fits perfectly! I'm a long distance walker on backroads and trials logging from 40 to 65 miles per week. The stability, cushioning and ventilation are great! I recently bought an RC GTX and have found it to be the perfect winter shoe here in VT. Highly recommended.

Excellent Trail Runner
Perfectly balanced, this former Nike freak has switched trail shoes. The problem with most trail shoes, especially Nike's, they are engineered to prevent inversion sprains so much that they turn everyone into pronators. The heal cup is solid and balanced, great underfoot protection without too much rigidity. Their unique cross-foot rubber shank system really keeps the feet comfy over the rough stuff, but prevents serious unwanted tipping and motion control found in much stiffer shoes. I found them just as comfortable to wear on an eight mile training run as an all day hike on a Colorado 14er. Great shoe, will buy more.

Great shoe!
I have been looking for a replacement for The North Face Ultra 100s for a long time. This could be the shoe. Roomy toe box, good motion control, good sole protection, and enough traction to really lean into the down hills. This has a low stable ride which is great on uneven terrain. I have only run one ultra with them so far and it was in 12" of snow. If they perform over the long haul, I will immediately buy several pairs and put them away. My only knock is they could use a little more top toe protection but not a problem so far.

Good trail shoe
I just ran a the Bear Canyon / Seven Falls trail near Tucson with these shoes. They worked well on this very rocky trail. I had good support and good grip on the granite rocks. I have a narrow foot and the shoes are a little wide for me, but the lacing allows me to cinch them up for a fairly good fit. So far, so good. We'll see how they do after a 100 miles or so.
