My new daily driver shoe. I can take this anywhere for any reason it will never be the wrong choice. It has the perfect amount of cushion for long days on smooth trails but is stable and grippy enough for more technical outings as well. I have heard some having trouble with the heel collar but after a few runs the material softened up and feels perfect. It is such a well rounded shoe and with how well it is holding up, I really don't have any critical feedback from my own experiences. I would recommend this...

As someone with a more narrow foot, I was able to tighten the laces to a comfortable amount and achieved great foot hold even on steep descents. I foun...
The second I put on this shoe I knew it was going to be a good one. With over 70 miles on the shoe on a variety of trail types and plenty of vert, this shoe has excelled in every way. At a similar price point to most daily-driver shoes, I think this one is superior in almost every way. The energy return from La Sportiva's new outsole material, the weight-to-cushion ratio is impressive and the grip from their white rubber is some of the best I've used. This shoe is great on short and fast efforts just as it ...

This band is the answer to any trail runner's wants and desires! You can pack a lot of items from multiple soft flasks, to nutrition, and even poles. I've brought this along on 20k long runs and 50k races and have never wanted anything more from it.
