PositiveAbout 50 miles over a month-plus on technical terrain, boulder descents and some rainy days. They liked the balanced, springy cushioning with good shock absorption, the roomy toe box, the secure heel lockdown and grip that held in wet and mud, though it sheds mud poorly. They say it runs slightly narrow, so wide feet should take the wide size, and people on technical terrain all the time may want something more aggressive.
