Construction
Tread
Ride
Reflective highlights
| | Weaknesses:
Narrow fit (unless you are narrow footed)
Weight (not the quickest shoe around) | | Overall:
I think these are discontinued now, so are on sale in many outlets. I bought mine from Field & Trek at half price (£35).
They are described as a dedicated trail runner, featuring an incredibly chunky Vibram sole, a big rubber rand in front, and not much venting. They seem built to last. The ride is excellent, with smooth heel-toe transition, good cushioning, and a sure-footed feel. They are as good on hard surface as on mud, but are really meant for muddy conditions. They probably aren't suited to over-pronators (no funny inserts). They are very chunky, so aren't the fastest shoe around, but would be good for trail walking too. The fit is narrow and you will need one size larger then your normal shoe size. Definitely worth a look if you can get them on sale. |

the most comfortable shoes I ever tried. Great traction, a lot of protectiosn, very soft inside and many support for your feet. I paid 75 USD so not too expensive.
| | Weaknesses:
a little bit bulky for trail running shoes but for me they're great | | Overall:
Not for any competition, they're bulky and a little bit heavy, but I weight 230 pounds so no complains, I also have the montrail leona divide, good shoes for trail running (specially for dry conditions) but I like this merrells a lot more, more comfortable, protection, soft inside, and supportive. I use them for trail ruinning, walking, birdwatching at the andes and rain forest, freeride mountain bike, even parties and theyre keeping doing great (1 year using them all days). I recomend this ones for any activitiy. Not T.running specialized shoes. Too bad they're discountinued. |
