Can't believe I got these shoes for only $60! Best-fitting trail shoes I've ever had. Nice, big toe box, without it being ridiculously over-sized like Altras. Stable, comfortable. Did two 20+ mile trail races in these, plus lots of long, rocky training runs, and never any blisters or problems. Cushioning is decent, but you can still definitely &#34;feel the trail&#34;, and in fact, I'm now running in Scarpa Ignites, because I wanted a bit more cushion. One criticism is that they didn't last very long--started to fall apart around 275 miles (stitching on side) and then a big gash on the bottom forced me to retire them at 300 miles. Was hoping to get at least 100 more miles out of them. Love the Ignites so far, and will review them after I see how long they hold up.
