Kjerag 02 Black

I sized down from my normal true-to-size for Kjerag 1 (10.5 to 10). But I was randomly in a store in durango that had the kjerag 2.0. Tried the kjerag 2 in US 10 and it was definitely way to tight. Unless this new upper has more give than the former, I will likely get my normal 10.5 when i pull the trigger.

Very curious to hear how Kjerag 2 compares to norda 005. The norda looks sweet but the outsole wear makes it hard to justify the cost. Kjerag 2 seems like a good compromise. Anyone have a feel if the new midsole significantly extends the length of run someone would do in it? people claimed the kjerag 1.0 could handle up to a 50k but i kinda maxed at 25k.

Kjerag is a good shout. I enjoyed NB SC Trail too.

Don't have the Pros, but they're on the list. I do have the Kjerag 02 and only have positive things to say about them. Light, nimble, really responsive midsole. One of the first trail shoes that has given me that "fun factor." No complaints about the grip, either. Outsole remains the same from the first version, so you'll be able to judge whether it's sufficient!

Have both. Was surprised that the Pro’s felt like a lot more shoe/more substantial than the Kjerag 2’s. I really like both. Pro’s have more bouncy-vibes but the Kjerag 2’s are definitely more lively than the 1’s. I just used the Pro’s for a technical mountain 100M (swiss peaks 170) and they performed very well on rock, dirt, mud, grass, flat or 35% in/declines, rain or shine. The Kjerag’s would have been too minimal for this i think, and the grip in wet grass/mud would probably not be good enough. For shorter distances in dry conditions, i still think the Kjerag 2’s are my prefered

For trail use i find my adidas terrex speed ultras still have speed in them after 700k. Kjerag 2 should also last long, but im not at high mileage yet. not high stack though, so a different sensation.

NNormal Kjerag 2 is the best for me! I also have Norda 002. But the kjerag is the best. So lightweight with an amazing ground control but also really good (soft) cushion! It feels like a second skin to me 😁

Switched to NNormal Kjerag. The Kjerag 2 is super comfortable but still has excellent ground control and is very very lightweight

NNormal Kjerag!!

I've been comparing the Nnormal Kjerag02 and Norda 005. Also the Patagonia "trail" clothing is very nice. Ps. The Norda 005 are very nicely built but too much foam for me and "unstable". I enjoy the Nnormal Kjerag 01 and 02 more. I'm running technical forest (MTB) trails 90% of the time. It's been a fun summer testing.

Foot shape and running style makes a massive difference for shoe selection. If you have a normal to narrow foot and are a predominantly forefoot lander then the speed ultra is the best shoe so long as the terrain isn’t to technical. If the terrain is slightly more technical but still some sections you can open up I think the prodigio pro is the best. If you are a heel striker/ mid foot lander then Norda 005’s (if you want soft) If the trail is super technical and you have a narrow foot the nnormal kjerag 2 is an amazing shoe for precision. If you like a slightly stiffer high stack shoe the arc’terx sylan2 that is about to be released is awesome. It has a vibram lite base sole and a way more mild rocker than the 1. (I have a prerelease pair as I work at a shoe shop) Basically there are lots of shoes I would consider depending on a what the race is like
