| If you are a trail runner this is a shoe worth looking into 
by Sach Balagopalan
I switched to the Hardrock after suffering an overuse running injury on the my right knee. If you have never tried on these shoes the first thing you're going to notice (even before hitting the trail) are the cushioning properties. The shoe also has unbeleivable traction control and great arch support (I have high arches). They are great for running technical trails especially downhill the shoe seems to "glue" on to the terrian and provide excellent stablity. I bought a pair of wides and they fit perfect.
It does takes a couple of weeks to break them in. I did an easy 6 mile trail run the first couple of days and the outside of my calves felt sore after the run. But once I broke them in it was not a problem anymore. I also didn't care too much for the standard insoles that came with the shoe - but I usually replace them with sorbothanes anyway so it was not a problem for me.
My overall view is this is a great trail running shoe and it seems have all the necessary properties a trail runner needs - cushioning stability and a great fit.
Great product, much more comfortable than a standard running sho

These are shoes that have excellent support cushioning and fore-foot protection. They have great support for trail running and even lite backpacking. Great cushioning stability and traction.
Damn near perfect

Best trail shoe I've ever owned bar none.
Comfortable
by Kritios Boy
I have worn these for running and around for almost a year. The sole is worn through to the midsole on the outer right of the heels. They are the most comfy shoes I've ever had. At work on my feet 9 hours a day no problem. First shoes to do that. They are good for long runs cushy decent traction ventilation. I do 4-8 milers no big deal but these work well. About 20-30 miles a week. I have the Vitesses too but these are better b/c they are more comfortable better traction and way more foot protection. The Vitesses are very light and nimble shoes but are pretty foundationless.
Nice off-road running/hiking shoes

Overall nice shoes. The heel looks bulky but adds to the stability of the shoe something I needed for support. At first they felt a bit narrow but having had them for a few weeks they molded to my feet.
