User Reviews

• Less ankle support than traditional hiking boots.
• Might be too heavy for runners looking for a lightweight trail shoe.

Expert Reviews

• Not ideal for long day hikes due to the lack of padding under the ball of the foot in the shoe.
• 12mm heel drop can feel high and some may not be used to it.
• Shallow lugs don’t provide adequate traction on wet surfaces.
• Not the most stable fit in the heel, due to the higher stack-height and narrow shape.
