Positive

About 100 km so far in cold Canadian conditions, in their usual true-to-size 10.5. They like the softer, bouncier midsole that has not bottomed out, a fit with no heel lift, and very good grip. On the downside, the toe box is narrow up front (a half size up or the wide version may help), the tongue is thin so cranking the laces can cause lace bite, and the forefoot mesh looks less breathable. They expect it to become their main shoe for technical terrain if it holds up.

Positive

One shoe for everything on trail, from forest runs to long outings and mountain weeks, and recommended without hesitation. In very good shape after 400 km. Cons: a very narrow forefoot (get the Wide), not for flat speed, and the thick sole reduces ground feel.
