    Callie Atkinson's review

    These are my go-to shoes when my feet are tired and need a little more cushion. When heading out for a second long run of a weekend, these are the shoes that I am putting on. They are still light, even with the additional sole, and have good grip on various terrain.

    Nate Ward, Trail Running Enthusiast, Skiing Connoisseur, Fly Fishing Novice, Outdoor Expert.

    The best trail running shoe on the market. The perfect amount of cushion, tread, and comfort. Usually when I buy these I get them a full size bigger to give my toes plenty of room to move around.

    One of my favorite shoes. Extremely comfortable for walking out of the box, though required a few runs to adjust to the 0 drop.
