    Meikael Beaudoin Rousseau's review

    The lightest, fastest, and most nimble trail shoe I've ever worn! This is my shoe of choice on race day for everything from vertical kilometers to 30k trail races. It fits like a sock and strikes the perfect balance of letting you feel the ground while protecting your feet from rocks. You can really trust your footwork. It also has a plate so you get great energy return!
