Super light weight and comfy trail shoe. No blisters ever in these shoes. Ran two trail ultras in them. Down side is I now love these shoes and such must have them for every mile I run on the trail. Size for the racerblade is actual, so order accordingly.

Blisters - Anything above 10 miles and these shoes rub serious blisters on the outside of my pinky toes. I bought these a full size larger and I also have narrow feet so I don’t know why these feel so crappy. Was stoked to get them but bummed about the feel.

Great, lightweight, low-profile trail shoe. I've ran mostly on dirt trails with some roots and rocks and this shoe has done well. Decent toe cap, but not super hard so you can bang your toes if you catch something hard enough. Lots of mesh so they drain easy when wet, but have enough structure that they don’t feel flimsy. They are even good for some road running if you like racing flats.

Beautiful shoes - Great runner and extremely flamboyant (the yellow and red ones at least). They look stylish and are very lightweight. It's a bit tight but that's great cuz it gives me sensitivity. A great improvement from the previous model. One thing: you better be fast to pull of these intense looking shoes. US 8.5 = 41.5

Great High Performance Trail Shoe - High Performance, lightweight trail shoe. Nice traction and a sturdy footbed. Felt comfortable out of the box. The toe box was a bit snug in my true size so buy the next 1/2 size up.

Thank you Zappos for free returns. This shoe needs it... it runs one half to a full size larger than you may be used to. Finally, a shoe that fits. I have a narrow heel, high arch, "D" forefoot, and am a toe striker vs. heel striker. It has a low volume forefoot area, but that is excellent for me. I can trail run out my back door and this shoe is the bomb. I've had it for about a month and find the protective stone shield in the forefoot area really works. You feel the rock, but no sharp push through. Needs a little arch insert for me. I like the fact that there is no tongue in this shoe to slip around. If you have a high arch that's an issue as well as it adds volume. A great design.

Nice and aggressive - These sneakers ROCK!! Excellent for mountain or trail running. Fit very comfortably. Highly recommended for the aggressive mountain running enthusiast, all grip; no slip.

HARD TO FIND - Being a retired disabled veteran, I looked for several years for a scarlet and gold running shoe (Marine Corps colors). You were the only company to have them, they are very comfortable and the free overnight shipping is excellent. The shoes will be matched up to my Marine Corps running suit. I let all my USMC friends know about your web site and believe that they will also purchase these shoes. Good luck and thanks for the shopping experience.

North Cal trail runner - The shoe performs very well on dirt trails (I actually got a second pair), very stable and flexible, excellent arch support. I would recommend it for light runners (the shoe is not very well cushioned) with neutral foot for 20 - 50 miles fast runs (haven't tried it on longer distances).

Raceblades - I wore these to run the Baton Memorial Death March and was fairly impressed with their performance. I felt they were really comfortable and cushioned, more so than my North Face Arnuva 50's. The one thing that I wasn't really happy with is the size of the toebox. The shoe felt a little tight in the toes, however this could probably be remedied by ordering a half size larger. The tread did a fantastic job on all uphills, downhills, and different terrain. All in all, a really good shoe.
