![]() Toe protection: These trail runners have more toe protection than many other trail runners.Though this offers some waterproofing, it still feels pretty breathable. The upper part of the shoe is a mesh material with a GORE-TEX membrane (this is what the GTX stands for in the name). Material: The sole is made out of an EVA Rubber, which offers pretty good traction and better support when running downhill.As someone who has had two knee surgeries, I don’t mind the extra cushion! For the average person that isn’t looking to do ultra marathons, this shoe is a comfortable weight. I also didn’t mind the extra weight because most of it was due to the EVA rubber cushioning on the bottom. Those shoes were really heavy and clunky, so these were an awesome upgrade. I was upgrading from some really old tennis shoes that I had bought eight years prior while in high school. For me, it was my first pair of trail runners and I was mostly doing distances between 6-12ish miles, so weight wasn’t a massive concern. There are more bare-bones shoes out there that are lighter. Weight: These shoes are relatively light for all they do (the extra cushioning on the sole and the GORE-TEX membrane offering waterproofing) but they are by no means an ultra-lightweight trail shoe.That’s the size I went with for these, and they have been awesome. Fit: I have a relatively average foot width, and am a pretty solid 6.5.The lacing system is super easy to use and adjustable although I haven’t had to mess with that too much either because it was really comfy right off the bat. ![]() They are pretty lightweight and the sole has a bit of extra rubber without being so overly thick that it feels like you are walking in heels (as I have found that some running shoes, such as HOKAs tend to feel like). I still haven’t had any issues with them that are break-in related. I didn’t find any hot spots or any areas to be uncomfortable the first few times either.
