Do yourself a huge favor and get this shoe immediately! I haven't subscribed to the whole minimalist movement...but this shoe is unbelievable. Surprisingly durable and exceedingly comfortable. The heel is awesome and toe box is roomy. Only complaint is it could use a bit more grip on wet rock surfaces. Don't let the traction issues/reviews prevent you from getting this shoe. I log 60+ mile weeks on the trail and trust me, this is an amazing shoe. Get it! Now.

I have run approximately 100 miles in these shoe to date. These are not just the best trail shoes that I have ever owned but the best running shoes that I have ever owned. They are almost too good to be true. I have been a trail runner for the past 12 years and have competed in several marathons and ultras. I have never found trail shoe this light, protective, and comfortable. These are not only great shoes for the trail but because they are so light you can do your speed work outs in them also. I am running the LT 100 in August and was trying to figure out which shoes to go with. I have figured it out!
Brands I'd also recommend: nike free run 2

These are terrific. Super light (feel like my barefoot Merrells). But good support and protection on the trail. I have pretty much switched to these from my Cascadias (which I've loved for years). Great product. The sizing seems the same as other Brooks models I've worn.

First impression after 5 miles of muddy, rocky trails, hills and wet fields. Overall it's a good shoe and I'm happy with them so far. Size 10, mens. Good Aspects: This shoe is vegan, score (most Brooks running shoes are)! The black / green styling is great, its a good looking shoe. It's relatively light yet feels sturdy. The sole has enough flex while providing sufficient protection from rocks on the trail. Construction quality looks good with no obvious defects in craftsmanship or finishing. Traction was good up and downhill in the mud and on trails. Minor Detractors: As noted by other reviews online, the "Nav Band" doesn't really do much for fit and gets in the way of adjusting the shoe laces. This shoe hugs my feet less and has more slip than the Brooks Cascadia. This may be due to the foot well being flatter and having less of a cupped shape. Heel and ankle fit is not as snug as other shoes, there is some separation of the heel from the bottom when walking/running. This can be mitigated some by tightening the shoe laces, but that can make it a little too snug mid-foot. This shoe runs about a half size smaller than the Brooks Cascadia. Or maybe the Cascadia runs a half size large. Either way keep that in mind if trying to determine size online. As also noted in other reviews online, traction on wet, flat surfaces was a little slippery - in this case wet asphalt. I mainly plan to use these as trail shoes so this should not be of concern except on bridges over creeks. This was also the first run in them so perhaps the sole material will improve once worn down a little.
