The Scarpa Spin Ultra 2 is a great shoe. I spent all summer running 50 miles a week in Hoka Tecton 2 and Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide. As Autumn set in and my focus transferred to more vert, shorter distance, and more traditional trail running, I wanted a mountain shoe that I could grab for almost anything but would have good to great traction on long downhills (Grandeur in SLC). Enter the Spin Ultra 2. At first glance, I was intrigued, mostly because Scarpa makes some of the best shoes in the world, and I d...

I started using these during Speedgoat, which I thought was going to be a risk, trying a new nutrition item right before a race. But it turned out great. I sweat a ton, and have quite salty sweat, so the higher dose is necessary for me. The flavor is plain, but smooth going down, and comes in 500ML doses, so easy to refill at aid stations.

Oh and I threw my Tomir stock insole in and have had no issue.

I recently purchased the Kjerag as my speed shoe to compliment my Tomirs and found them to be an awesome addition to the quiver, especially on long runs. I bought the same size as my Tomirs (10, for reference I wear a 28 F1Lt and 27.5 Tecnica Pro Tour) and they have been my agile, light, "race" shoe. The cushioning is minimal but definitely there. The toe box is narrower than the tomir, but not narrow enough to cause pain, just a more precise feeling. I have no experience with carbon shoes but find this sho...
