My Running

Live in SW Colorado and run on mostly rocky technical trails, single track and mining roads. Currently running 2-4 trail races a year in the 10-20 mile range and heavy half formats with 2,500 to 4,000 ft elevation gain. Training often at 9,000 to 12,000 ft on peaks, rocky mining roads, and chundery, hard-packed trails with all the vert in the first few miles. Current A Race for 2026 is the Imogen Pass run.

My Gear

Currently training in Dynafit Ultra 100 v2s until they fall apart while I research other shoe brands that fit narrow feet and high arches and instep. For short distances I run with the Osprey Dyna 6 vest. For longer outings I wear the Nathan Pinnacle 12 liter pack. Recently purchased the UD 30 liter running/fast pack for longer alpine outings. The best bra out there is the Salmon S/lab crop top for quick dry and support for smaller chests.

I was looking at the Agravic TT originally for a technical terrain shoe, but was really wary of the high stack height for stability, so I checked these out instead. The fit is surprisingly good for a narrow foot and high instep with room in the toe box to splay. Upper materials are very durable and the Continental grip on the sole provide worry-free traction on my local rocky hardpacked trails. This is my first trail shoe with a heel drop above 6mm, so I do notice a slight difference in my running stride, b...

A perfect pack for mid-country runs! The quality of Instinct packs is unprecedented. Zippers are not cheap plastic, bungees all have a big end piece you can manage with cold hands or gloves on, and no velcro tabs that pull apart mid-run (like my unsatisfactory previous 12l pack from another brand). The bottles sit high enough on the chest that you don't have to crane your neck to get a drink. The front pockets were designed really smart, so that the zip pocket doesn't crowd the other pouches when there is ...

I purchased these for my Norda 001a shoes to get some more arch support for my high arches and narrow feet. After a few runs they work great. They didn't impact the volume of the shoe dramatically or change the fit. Easy to cut to fit. A tip for sizing: the brand's size chart does not specify that the shoe size range listed is a men's size. I originally ordered a medium and they were way too big. Dropping one size down was perfect, and Skyrun made the return easy peasy!

I'm still getting used to this shoe, but have a lot of good things to say after about 50 miles in them. I was wary about the hefty price tag at first since I was not able to try them on locally. However, this shoe fits suprisingly well on my narrow feet. The overal shape of the shoe is a refreshing deviation from most trail shoes. There is ample toe box space to splay, and the shape stays rounded rather than pointing or squaring off at the toes. The rubber/gum outsole for the traction and protection all the...

Hi! Any info on what Dynafit kept from version 2? I love the heel loader and midfoot lacing, but can't tell if they changed those. Looks like the foam got an upgrade though!
