Perfect Trail Shoe

" For me this is the perfect trail shoe, at last: tremendous traction and flexibility, extremely light, yet tough enough on the bottom to do a little boulder hopping or scree climbing in them without coming home sore. A perfect compromise for me between minimalist trail shoes and traditional trail runners. Adidas has a nasty habit of making a great and original shoe and then discontinuing it -- so, I bought 6 year's worth

DSW lists it as a narrow size, though what they'll send you is technically an M on the tag; it's just narrowly built. If you're used to traditional running shoes with a padded tongue and sides, it will take a little getting used to. Feels sort of like wearing slippers, but with all the support and suspension of a traditional shoe. Can't rate this one highly enough. With its traction, flexibility, and toughness, it's extremely intuitive on the trail. "
