Choosing some heftier lugs and minimal drop considering the terrain & steep descents

This shoe is my go-to for strict trail runs. The Vibram outsole has amazing grip and the shoe itself has a lower profile, which I prefer for the ground feel it gives on trails. It’s also a fast shoe!

Great shoe for more technical trails. I ran a technical 54 mile trail ultra with 12,000 ft of elevation gain and loss in these. They held up amazingly and showed zero wear and tear afterwards

After hearing the rave of MTC shoes I finally had gotten me a pair of the T1s and they did not disappoint! Make sure to measure your foot by their sizing chart, I think most people are having to order down .5 of a size for proper fitment. Any sort of technical trail or muddy environment, my T1s are eating it up and I get to enjoy the ride along the way. The dual lacing system is also unique and allows a more dynamic fitment and adjustment if needed.
