These are phenomenal trail running boots. They are great for all natural surfaces.
The rock plate gives added protection from roots & rocks along the trails, yet they are very lightweight.
The stability felt with flexibility and added ankle support, makes them feel like an extension of your feet.
Did I mention, they're waterproof; this is essential on the trails,
somewhere, sometime you are going to hit water, or worse, mud!
There is also an ease and quickness about slipping in & out of these boots.
Also, the lacing does not require you to snug each "rung" of lace.
