This shoe is by far the best trail running shoe I have ever run in. I truly appreciate how snug the shoe feels. The upper material is versatile, soft and breathable. I love the materials used for the tongue, providing enough comfort to where you don't feel too much pressure from the laces on the upper foot. Wider toe box means happier feet on the trail. The toe box gives my toes the opportunity to truly experience the trail. The foam midsole is unlike anything I have ever tried. It's so soft and protective I didn't even feel a slight puncture in the shoe by a tree branch!? The outsoles lug system provides the best traction possible, however I think having a full one piece rubber without any exposure to the midsole would take this shoe to a whole other level. I only say that since a tree branch punctured an exposed area that the rubber outsole didn't cover. Overall this is still the best trail shoe I have ever had. I'm super impressed by this shoe and how well it can handle the mileage and terrain.
