After a brief falling out when Montrail was purchased by Columbia, this shoe has reinvigorated my love affair with Montrail footwear. It feels fantastic, has killer traction, great support, breathes well while maintaining awesome waterproofing, and looks pretty sharp, too. I'm tough on shoes, and I love how this one has a really tight grip on my heel for trail running, but a wider toe box for all around comfort. One issue I've had with Montrail's in the past is the fabric on the inside of the foot deteriorates more quickly as my feet brush against each other (or rocks, trees, etc.) while running. This style combats that by putting a mesh exterior on one side of the shoe, and a leather exterior on the other (the side I usually demolish), and that's made a huge difference. All around awesome shoe. I did swap out the insole for better support after I had been in them for a couple of weeks, but other than that this shoe is amazing out of the box.

The perfect shoe.
I bought these in a different color last Christmas for my boyfriend. He loves them. He says they are super comfortable. He is normally a size 13 but I ordered a 14 and they fit well. I think a 13 would have been too small, perhaps in both length and width. They are very lightweight and were wearable right out of the box. The first time he wore them was on a 11 mile hike (22 roundtrip; worn with the SmartWool socks which I am sure help) and he didn't get any blisters. He also uses them for running in the gym. I think they look great on top of everything so 5 stars for Montrail. I'm now a fan! I wish they would make them in womens size 5 so I could wear them too.

I am a big guy with pretty wide feet and these shoes were comfortable for a 18 mile overnight hike on the Ozark Trail. We had unseasonably warm weather for the time of year (early November) and these shoes breathed fairly well. I still had some moisture on my feet at the end of the day, but I am sure this was due to the fact that, I am a big guy, and I was carrying 35 pounds on my back through the mountains. I tried on several other shoes as well (Adidas Supernova Riot 2 and Pearl Izumi Syncroseek III) and these were, by far, the best ventilated/most comfortable. I did manage to get some irritation on the back of my Achilles, despite my best efforts to tie the shoe properly. I would assume this is a personal issue unless others are having this same problem.

Service from Zappos is outstanding as usual. I ordered 3 different styles of Montrail shoes this time around. I had been wearing the Tamarack style, but Montrail stopped making it. So I needed to see in person some shoes to decide. I kept the Hardrock 09. It is not quite as comfortable as the Tamarack was, also I would prefer a leather suede like I had with Tamarack. Much warmer for winter time. This Hardrock does have a bit of leather, but is mostly mesh. I hope Montrail brings back the Tamarack or makes something equally as good.

I am 6'5", 220 lbs and wear a 15 B, but was wanting some trail running shoes and heard these run narrow. My normal running shoes are the B width Asics 2130s. The MMs fit well. They definitely have a narrow heel and roomy toe box like the Asics. Biggest difference from normal shoes is the toe guard which feels odd when you try them on, but is fine to run with. It lifts the toe of the shoe, presumably to keep you from snagging stuff. I ran 7 miles on rocky, rooty terrain out of the box and they were great. I wear Superfeet green insoles, so no comment on arch support.

The Masochist is a relatively lightweight shoe, yet provides fairly good protection even in moderately rocky areas. The Masochist is not as protective for the sides of the feet as heavier Montrails such as the Continental Divide and Hurricane Ridge, but I believe it is more protective to the heel, which is probably more important in sharp rocks.The Masochist, because of its light weight and great heel support, is also a good shoe for hard-packed fire roads and double-track, even rough gravel roads (experienced runners only!). Overall, the traction is as good as any shoe I've used. For me, the Masochist is plenty roomy in the middle of the shoe, but is slightly tighter on the little toes than previous Montrails, which I can accommodate by keeping the strings sufficiently tight. I've been running off-road since the 1960s and, overall, the Masochist is the best shoe for my feet that I've ever run in. I'm currently five weeks into (only) my second heel bruise, which I got running in heavy rocks in a pair of Continental Divides. With this recovering bruise, the Masochist is the only shoe I can run in without pain, which says a lot about the Masochist, given its lightweight design.

These boots are fantastic! They fit well right from the start, and, for a light hiker like myself (5-8 mile day hikes) in the mountains, they perform beautifully through gravel, mud, snow, etc. Plus, they look great just kicking around town and can be worn in a casual work environment. I\'ve owned Montrail shoes before and would definitely purchase more from this brand in the future. Plus, Zappos\' customer service is phenomenal. I buy all my shoes through them and have never been disappointed.

These shoes are really uncomfortable. I've tried wearing them several times but each time I end up with bloody heels. I emailed Montrial 3 times with questions about the shoe, but they never once bothered to respond to my emails. Montrial customer service is terrible and these shoes are just as bad. I guess they go hand in hand.

Had been wearing an old pair of Red Wings for so long the vibram sole was worn off. I should have bought these long before. Real comfortable. Theses are serious boots. I have long, narrow feet, and the lacing system allows you to get them as tight as you like. Were particularly good for the rocky trails we have around here. Can\'t wait to get them on a backpack.

I love my Montrails. I have sensitive feet and Montrails fit better than any other brand of shoe I have tried. These shoes are perfect for me. I work 10+ hour days as a nurse and they get me through the day. And they are also great trail runners. Not too heavy, waterproof, good stability. I'm totally thrilled with these shoes.

Walking on a cloud! After getting a painful foot disorder, I started hunting for a flip flop to wear everywhere, especially at home on my hard floors. My search has ended with these heavenly shoes. They fit my narrow feet and I love that you can heat them and mold them to your feet. They are soft, squishy, and mold perfectly, giving my feet all the support they need. Will be buying more of this brand. Oh, and my foot pain is actually going away!

I've now owned two pairs of these boots. I have wide feet so I really like the wide width. These boots were comfortable from the first time I wore them. The sizing seems perfect for 10.5 size foot. I've never had a blister while wearing these boots. I do a lot of hiking in the slick rock of Utah and find that they have real good grip on the rocks.

I had an earlier version of these shoes for about 3 years. I loved them. Other then the plastic smell that was strong for about a year, I thought they were very good. My ankles are quite weak and I believe they support it. My friend talked me into replacing them with Salomon. I tried them for 2 months. They are good shoes, but not for my medium to narrow feet. I ended up twisting my ankle. So I went back to Montrail, and ordered this new version of it. I used them three time at the Soberanes Trail in California so far. They are comfortable, lightweight, and giving good support. My normal shoe size is 8 - 8.5, and 8.5 worked with these shoes, too. I have enough toe space for downhill running, too. I even have orthopedic arch support in them, and still comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Excellent shoes, especially for those with narrow feet. I wear a size 10.5, a hard to fit size to begin with, but on top of that, my feet are more pointed and narrow than most. This shoe fit great, and is highly adjustable. Couldn't believe how lightweight they were and yet still so supportive on concrete. I've been running on the road in these a few miles a week for a few months and they barely show wear on the tread. Also excellent arch support for feet like mine that have especially high arches. They are mesh, so they are incredibly breathable in the summertime, but not so good for cold weather. Also, the mesh allows dew to wet your socks quickly, but on the other hand they'll dry quickly, too. Only problem I encountered was one of the strings that the laces loop through broke towards the toe, slightly changing the shape of the toe box. Must have just been a fluke, though; that happened in the first week and nothing has broken since.

BUY THESE SHOES! These are the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars for custom insoles, these shoes come with them! It was the first time I walked around for a whole day and didn't have foot discomfort. They are also very versatile. I wore them around the mall and then later to a wedding.

Absolutely fabulous. I've been trail running for over 2 years. My normal trails are hilly/mountainy single track with lots of roots, rocks, and all the things that mountain bikers love. For most of that time I used the North Face Arnuva 100TR GTX. Great shoes themselves, but they would wear out and start falling apart pretty quickly. Then I got the Montrails. Wow. Super light, traction is outstanding, mud shedding is great, and rock shielding is excellent. I ran with them for several weeks before running the Vermont Ascutney 50K in Sept 09. The race was a rainy mud-fest. I ran it hard and fast. The shoes performed flawlessly. No blisters or foot damage of any sort. Tread still looks brand new and the rock shielding seems not to have degraded at all. Couldn't have asked for better.

Soles came off after 8 miles -
Bought them for my hiking trip to Swiss Alps. Have to say they were quite comfortable, good support. However, the soles came off after about 8-10 miles, right in the beginning of my 100-mile trip. Not the quality one would expect from "heavy-duty backpacking shoes".

This is a very comfortable sandal. It is true to size, however, the instep is a little high. I don't think that heat molding it to your foot has that much of an impact on the overall fit. I am trying to get used to the squeaking noise they make when walking on hardwood floors. I definitely cannot sneak up on anyone. They are not very stylish and definitely a beach sandal.

This would be the third pair of Montrail GTX Torre I have owned and by far the best pair of boots I have ever owned. I have worn my last pair for 3 years 24/7! I actually have a hole in the right boot about the size of a half dollar. Guess what? When I submerge it in water, it's still water proof, no wet feet! How much better can you get? It will be a sad day when they are discontinued.

I love my Montrail Torre GTXs. I have a hard time finding shoes that I am able to wear with my custom orthotics. I went with the 11 wide which gives me everything I require: sufficient room in the toe box, good arch support, a snug supportive fit around the mid foot and ankle, and a snug fit in the heel cup without slippage. They work just right on the typical rocks, roots and ruts of Maine. I even bought a second pair for backup. Happy hiking.

I have wide, square feet with Morton's foot (second toe longer than big toe). I bought these when I figured out that my Asolo GTX boots were never going to work out because of the curved last, which made my outer toes into burger on long hikes, despite the boot being the right length overall. The Montrails are on a straight last, and fit much better. I have about 300 miles of hiking on these now carrying light to moderate loads (about 25 lbs), and am happy with them. They broke in easily with no heel blisters, and though they feel slightly soft when walking on side-slopes, I have had no ankle twisting injuries with them and I have to conclude that they are stable. Traction is excellent. I have had these on rough terrain most of the time, including quite a bit of sharp granitic rock, and they combine traction with good sole durability. Waterproofing is fair. A few puddles or a quick stream crossing is no problem, but in sustained heavy rain and puddles, they get soaked. I suppose anything would. Overall, the best boot I have found after several tries with other brands. I will buy another pair if they are available when these wear out.

Be wary. These are definitely comfortable and good looking shoes, but unless you are using them just for casual wear they will not hold up. I've only had them for about six weeks and the sole is coming apart (tread is de-laminating). If you're looking for a trail shoe that will last I would not recommend this shoe. I have had much better success with Asics and Salomon shoes.

 |  | Dear Zappos Customer Service, You are just great! Thank you for upgrading this order for priority shipping. I also wanted to send a much belated thank you for a service you did for me about a year ago. At the time, my son broke his leg very badly and we needed some "basketball breakaway pants" to put over it so he could go out of the house, as the cast was quite large. We couldn't find them anywhere, but my mother found them on your website. She called to order the pants and when she told you of our situation you sent them immediately on overnight delivery at no charge to us. While that may seem like a small thing to you, it was a HUGE thing to us and we were grateful beyond measure. Thank you for your kindness. I have been a devoted customer, will continue to be and will always recommend you when I can to friends and family. God bless you and I hope your business thrives.
