Perfectly balanced this former Nike freak has switched trail shoes. The problem with most trail shoes especially Nike's they are engineered to prevent inversion sprains so much that they turn everyone into pronators. The heal cup is solid and balanced great underfoot protection without too much rigidity. Their unique cross-foot rubber shank system really keeps the feet comfy over the rough stuff but prevents serious unwanted tipping and motion control found in much stiffer shoes. I found them just as comfortable to wear on an eight mile training run as an all day hike on a Colorado 14er. Great shoe will buy more.

I have been looking for a replacement for The North Face Ultra 100s for a long time. This could be the shoe. Roomy toe box good motion control good sole protection and enough traction to really lean into the down hills. This has a low stable ride which is great on uneven terrain. I have only run one ultra with them so far and it was in 12" of snow. If they perform over the long haul I will immediately buy several pairs and put them away. My only knock is they could use a little more top toe protection but not a problem so far.
