Great daily trail shoe

Comfortable right out of the box with enough room in the forefoot for longer runs. The outsole feels secure on dry dirt and gravel without making the shoe feel clunky.

4/5 rating

Balanced and easy to run in

I like the balance of cushion and ground feel. It has been a solid pick for rolling singletrack and park trails.

-Marcus T.

4/5 rating

Roomy but secure

The fit feels roomy but the midfoot stays locked in once laced. I would pick something more aggressive for mud, but this is great for everyday trail miles.

5/5 rating

Light feel, dependable traction

The mesh upper feels light and the TPU overlays add a little structure. Nice grip for mixed surfaces without overbuilding the shoe.
