Dynafit - Alpine PRO 2 Running Shoes Men

These are excellent. I used the Alpine Pro for the Eiger Ultra Trail. Dynafit knows there is not just one discipline of mountain running and provide a shoe for each purpose. They might be niche in the US though.

Definitely recommend. Had two pairs of the first version of the Ultra 100 since i liked the so much. Soft, fast and surprisingly stable for the height. Havent tried the new version yet, but heard great things. Dynafit Alpine has been my go-to shoe this summer. Contrary to the other comment i find them really good on technical terrain. And i live in Norway so everything is technical. It's not the fastest feeling shoe, but a good performer. Used them in two races this summer, but wouldn't use them for an ultra.

Haha, shoe fit is definitely personal. I tried my first pair of Dynafit a few years back, and it was the first pair that i felt comfortable in the toe area without the rest of my foot rolling inside the shoe when not tying my shoelace extremely tight. Yes, I have narrow and low volume feet. I had the feline and the alpine. But I read their ultra lines are more spacious. Btw, I am from Hong Kong and the megagrip soles can handle the wet mossy muddy terrains as well as the loose sandy slopes well.

I have been using feline for technical terrain, not just because of the grip, but also the close fit makes them feel like gloves and I feel connected and thus confident when going down some pretty nasty unmarked trails. However, they are definitely not the most comfy for concrete (which unfortunately for HK is something we have to mix with trails often). well, as I only do short to medium distances, this is manageable. Alpine is a bit more cushiony than the Feline

Just goes to show how opinions can differ and shoes are highly personal. I have the Ultra 100s absolutely love them. Wore them for my first 50-miler last year and can honestly say they're one of my Top 3 shoes ever. I also had a pair of Alpines before that, and they were so narrow that I struggled majorly to get a good fit. I "retired" them after just 70 miles.

Went with Dynafit Alpine for trail running and Altra Olympus for hiking. The Vibram sole on both shoes have proven it's worth, keeping me on the my feet while jumping from rock to rock while others are slipping and struggling.

From my experience shoes that worked best on such terrain are Salomon Genesis and La Sportiva Mutant. Other La Sportiva shoes should do well because they are generally targeted for mountain running. Also, from my experience, Dynafit shoes are well suited for mountain running. Finally, if you want to see a selection of shoes and gear in general that is targeted towards mountain running take a look at Skyrun store (https://skyrun.skimo.co/). This is a real physical store in Utah. I ordered from them several times without any issues.

Here is my excessive collection of trail running shoes - all of them still have some usable mileage, although a number of shoes are nearing retirement Salomon * S/lab Ultra 3 * 2x S/lab Genesis * 2x S/lab Pulsar * S/lab Pulsar 2 SG La Sportiva * 2x Prodigio * Kaptiva * Bushido 2 * Mutant * Akasha NNormal * 2x Kjerag Dynafit * Ultra 100 * 2x Alpine * Feline SL Hoka * Zinal * Speedgoat 5 Also have 3 pairs of road shoes Note: obviously I didn't buy these all at once. Many of these are several years old.

I had a pair of the Ultra 100, they were cushy, and a bit on the heavy side. I don't really like cushy shoes so I didn't keep them for long. I currently have a pair of the Dynafit Alpine, they're a pretty good shoe, they have a narrow to medium fit, light cushion, good Vibram outsole, but they're not in my top tier of technical running shoes, they're not really stable enough for me on fast downhills, and they don't feel as natural running as shoes like the Nnormal Kjerags or Merrell Long Sky.

There are no trail shoes with a pronation-support system. Such system is counterproductive on an uneven trail and can cause problems and injuries. I am running Adrenaline and Glycerine GTS as my road shoes and have x-bionic, dynafit and saucony Peregrines as my trail running shoes. X-bionic and dynafit are relatively stable, I use a special insole in Peregrines (not from orthopedics)

I order new pairs of Dynafit often to try out. I’ve found their shoes to be incredibly well made but they have very little cushion. They’re also narrow, so they require sizing up by a full US size. I bought a pair of Feline SL for running in the rain and mud, but they’re so low to the ground and hard that I only use them when working in the yard.

The Dynafit Trail, light, stable great grip and versatile cushioning! [https://www.dynafit.com/it-it/scarpa-trail-running-da-uomo-08-0000064111](https://www.dynafit.com/it-it/scarpa-trail-running-da-uomo-08-0000064111)

I find Dynafit shoes to be narrow, stiff, and hard. I prefer to rotate between my La Sportiva Jackals and Hoka Torrents. I do enjoy Dynafit skis and boots though!
