NNormal Tomir 2.0 Shoe
When Kilian Jornet announced his new brand, NNormal (No Normal), there was much anticipation to see if one of the fastest people in the world could deliver on his promise of lightweight and long-lasting shoes. Despite these very ambitious goals, the Kjerag and original Tomir have exceeded every expectation and challenged what a "normal" trail shoe can be capable of. Even with the original's success, the folks at NNormal felt they could surpass the bar they raised. So was born the NNormal Tomir 2.0, an upgraded version of a shoe that arguably needed no improvement. So, how did they take an excellent shoe and make it even better?
First, NNormal implemented strategic changes to improve the shoe's overall performance. The durometer of the midsole has been softened just a bit and has an incredibly plush feel. Not too soft and not too hard, but nearly perfect. The updated asymmetrical lacing has been widened to improve how the upper tightens over the foot, alleviating odd pressure points. The midsole has been widened in both the heel and midfoot (by 7mm and 4mm, respectively) to add more stability and has been heightened under the arch for better support and pronation resistance. The outsole at the toe has been raised by 2mm to give the forefoot more rocker, which will encourage you to keep on striding with every step without affecting the 8mm drop. An internal 360° midsole stitch sews the upper and midsole together, improving the shoe's durability and anchoring the padding into the front of the toe box, helping to protect your little piggies. Vibram traction lug technology implemented on the outsole improves traction by 25%.
As if that wasn't enough, the fit and comfort have also received upgrades. A molded Ortholite insole improves cushioning and better supports your arch. The wider tongue and no-slip laces lock your foot in place, and perforation has been added to the tongue and stretch gusset, adding breathability while preserving the sock-like fit. The amount of TPU foils on the upper has been reduced to mitigate the possibility of pressure points when the shoe flexes. Unchanged from the first version is the generous and protective stack height, EVA midsole structure, durable and breathable Matrix upper, and unprecedented mileage that will put your other shoes to shame (unless NNormal also makes your other shoes).
SkyRun Fit Tip - The Tomir 2.0 fits true and is sold in US men's sizes. (Ladies, please size down on full US size)
- Stupidly long lifespan keeps more shoes out of landfills (and more money in your wallet).
- Wider midsole in the midfoot and heel for better stability.
- Changes to the tongue improve both comfort and ventilation.
- Ortholite insole adds cushion and support.
- Rockered sole naturally rolls your foot into the next stride.
- 360° stitch ups the durability by sewing together the upper and midsole.
- Vibram Litebase is a proven outsole, and traction lug technology improves grip by 25%.
- Matryx upper incorporates Kevlar for strength and wear resistance while remaining impressively breathable.
- Durability is the new sustainability.

Questions & Reviews
Thank you!
I'd go with a 10.0 in these if the 9.5 Kjerag fits well.
Myself and a coworker tried these on and compared results. Our consensus was that the Tomir is wider in the midfoot and a little roomier volume-wise. They both have wider toe boxes, but the Prodigio tapers more coming back towards the midfoot. I think as a result, the Prodigio will work for a narrow foot better, while still having enough room up front for comfortable toes on longer days. We did not notice either having a particularly tapered toe box, although when sized more aggressively, we did feel the front of the Tomir a little more. The toe is fairly boxy up front on the Prodigio. Sized for comfort, however, both were roomy.
Thanks!
Your typical US size will work well - I'd go with a 10.5.
This is a relatively accommodating shoe that could handle some width. However, it is probably not as wide as your wide-fit Hokas. So depending on how much width you need, it could be an option, but it is not specifically a wide-fitting shoe.
