Nice shoe, but needs improvements

May 29, 2012

I liked the light weight and low profile of this shoe. I have been running in minimus and five fingers, but was needing a little bit more for longer runs. Negatives: I do not like that the tongue is not attached. For trail running especially, it is nice to have the attached tongue. I got more rocks in these shoes than any other shoe. I bought them a month or so before my 50K race. I have 3 holes in both shoes in less than a month and this was before race day. I have a pair of Brooks trail shoes with no holes and many more miles. So I was disappointed in the quality. I have a lot of running friends that run in Montrails and they love them. I do like the shoe for comfort, weight and medium profile, but it needs some improvements.
