NNormal Tomir Shoe
Tomir is Norwegian for training. Well, that's a guess. Kilian Jornet is Spanish for, "how the, what the, why the?" Kilian trains more than a little bit and in those epic adventures amongst the fjords and high peaks he finds himself with a set of NNormal's Tomir shoes on his feet. A more durable option for higher mileage, the Tomir is an exquisite example of a true mountain running shoe. One way to lower your impact on the environment is to buy fewer shoes, which oddly enough is NNormal's goal with the Tomir, to build a shoe that will stand up to more miles than other shoes. The upper is sewn to the midsole and made of a combination of polyester and TPU for abrasion resistance and high durability. Not just for looks, the asymmetrical lacing design is intended to reduce pressure points and give a more secure hold on the forefoot to keep you in touch with your shoes and the trail. A generous stack height and EVA midsole cushion your feet and offer plenty of rebound with each stride. Meant to do it all for every runner and hiker, NNormal's Tomir shoe is an optimal choice for any outing.
SkyRun Fit Tip - We suggest ordering the Tomir in your usual US shoe size for a proper fit.
- Highly durable upper will keep you going for more miles than you can imagine.
- Vibram Megagrip outsole with Vibram Litebase material is 30% lighter than traditional Vibram soles.
- EVA midsole is light, well cushioned, and offers some rebound to help you be happy and efficient.
- Abrasion-resistant upper is sewn to the midsole to increase durability.
- Additional set of laces will help you spice up your running life.

Questions & Reviews
I've attempted to get a warranty exchange on these shoes, but NNormal has been VERY slow to respond to the request. Their customer service and response has been pretty bad. Think weeks/months rather than days to hear anything back if you need to resolve an issue.
Before I had the issue of the heel collapse, I would say that these shoes have a highly padded but stiff feel to them. The foam is defintely denser than something like the Salomon Ultra Glide or Hoka Speedgoat. The tread is very aggressive, which makes them great on steep dirt, but I found myself snagging my toes on trails with a lot of roots or plants.
I bought these shoes on the idea that they would last much longer than a typical trail shoe. The ideals of NNormal building "sustainable" shoes resonated with me. I can't say that this has been my experience.
I will not be buying NNormal again, mostly because of their lack of response. I can appreciate shoe design flaws with a new company, but the lack of communication and response is disappointing. As much as I respect Kilian Jornet and the ideals that they convey in their marketing, they just aren't operating as a company the way I hoped.
Thanks!
Ultimately, the Mutant is a bit more lively while the Tomir is more protective.
Both have a similar fit; however, I would size up in the Mutant and stay true to size in the Tomir.
I'm in between sizes. I measure to about 9-1/4 on a Brannock and opted for a 9 in the Tomir. I don't have a full thumb width up front but sizing up to a 9.5 would have been a bit much. If you'd be willing to fill out our shoe-fitter I bet we could get you dialed in!
The Tomir would be a great choice for that style of running. I have a pair that I use on trails and some scrambling here in Salt Lake.
Also do the shoes fit true to size? I am on the bigger end of the size spectrum and am concerned the 12.5 might be a little short. For reference I generally wear a 47 in La Sportiva shoes.
Thanks for any and all the help you can offer!
The WP model will be the choice for winter months! It uses a material that is similar to Goretex, so it's waterproof and still relatively breathable. You can also get the mid cuff, which will be warmer and leave less of a chance for snow to sneak between your shoes and gaitors. Both the WP and the non water proof version are extremely durable. One employee here has 100+ miles on his and they look brand new! The WP is less breathable, so for the dry season, you could find that the breathability keeps your feet dryer and as a result, warmer. But for the winter, I would definitely recommend the WP.
As far as fit, the people I've talked to who wear the Tomir sized down a half size US. So I'd recommend going with the size 12.
