"I was quite impressed with its comfort and trail capabilities, and truly believed I had found an excellent shoe for my long runs and hikes. ... the New Balance Hierro v9 remains my top choice for comprehensive trail running. Its superior comfort and, crucially, its consistently reliable grip in varied and challenging conditions make it a more dependable partner on the trails I typically encounter. ... I feel more secure in the Hierro, and that confidence is key. In fact I will be using it for my upcoming races and that says it all."
"The Vibram Megagrip outsole on the Hierro v9 is simply outstanding. Its 4.5mm lugs provide excellent, reliable traction across various surfaces, from dry dirt to slick roots and muddy patches. I've always felt incredibly secure, and it consistently inspires confidence in diverse conditions. ... Great Vibram outsole grip, even on mud and wet rocks"
"The Trabuco 12 have been the best trail shoes I’ve ever owned. ... I’m 6”4 and charge hard over serious rocky terrain…and I feel completely safe in them."

"the Salomon Speedcross 6 works really really well for me, and not even in the wide size that they do make - just half a size up. ... Something about the upper design is extremely accommodating."
"they surprisingly fit my wide feet well. ... Both, my toe splay is very wide. And my mid foot is pretty wide. I was really surprised they worked for me"
"I also have wide feet (2E for most shoes) and got the Trabuco 12 in a half size up and they fit perfectly. ... Seems the forefoot area and toe box is wider than usual."

"does not cushion at all"
"Cascadias are GREAT shoes if you don't plan on running further than 5 miles. ... midsole is deader than my wife in the sack."

"And then during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."
"during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."
"An almost new pair I wore in a mountain 100 was dead after the race. ... It was all stretched out and even had a hole in the side when it wasn't that crazy technical of terrain."

"which I couldn't buy because they were -too- tight for me over the arch. ... When I tried on the Kjerag 01 I had to size up a full size for them to fit at all, and even then it was slightly uncomfortable. ... Almost two thumbs width of spare length in the front is just not doable."
"the new Innov8 last shape I find really narrow in the mid and quite long in the toe so I sent them back."
"They all fit differently. ... It was infuriating. ... So, a warning to all: Try all models of a given brand, because you can't rely on equivalent fit."

"just a little less stable"

2 pairs of the Superior 5, terrible traction when wet on limestone. 1 pair of the Olympus 5, much better traction but the midsole packed out around 200 miles in and that’s probably because of the inner flex thing because there’s less foam there. I’ve got some topo pursuits with 400+ miles that are great and Nnormal tomirs with 400+ miles that’s are also still great. I just don’t think altra makes a great shoe for me, especially because I have a narrow foot and would lose multiple toenails after marathon+ distances.
r/trailrunning • Best shoes for grip/feedback ->I can only chime in in Nnormal but figure I will. They were arguably the most durable trail shoe I’ve ever owned, but they had zero cushion/give (IMO). If you don’t mind firm shoes, they’ll last you forever (I ran several ultras in them), but I won’t buy them again because I like a little more comfort.
r/trailrunning • Norda vs Nnormal vs Mount to Coast ->I have loved my Nnormal Tormirs. I have worn Altras for the last 15 years but wanted a little more cushion for long runs. They have done me well!
r/trailrunning • Trail Running Shoes ->I have tried GoreTex and Seal Skinz and found that shoes or socks that have a membrane end up just as wet by the end of the run because my feet get all sweaty and maybe even heavier because they don't drain for shit. As far as brands go, here is a quick review NNormal (Tomir) started falling apart after 30km. Not impressed with fit, look or durability. Hoka: SG4 fantastic shoe, had 3 pair SG 5, never felt stable in my foot ran maybe 20km before I retired them to leisure shoe. Tecton/x V1 and V2 Super comfortable shoes, dog shit in the mud but I love them on the dry days. V3 blew apart in the forefoot after only two runs. I fixed them but they are not super stable either... we see how much I end up using them in the future. Altra: Lone Peak and Olympus...meh OnClouds went straight to goodwill, Saucony: Peregeine / Endorphin Rift again not impressed with durability and no good for mud and wet roots. Speedland: GL-PDX I looove them, just yesterday I was heading up the mtn and caught my foot on some hidden rebar, this would have destroyed the toe on any other pair of shoes that I own and I was sure I would look down and see a hole... nope, not even a mark. I am greatly impressed. They drain well and have nice traction as good or better than Vibram. GS:RAR Initial impression is that they fit well and after some minor adjustments to lugs are comfortable to run in on the treadmill, nothing outside yet as I will use them in the snow with crampons and in the summer. when it is dry. No experience with Norda, I don't like how they look imo Keep in mind that wool insulates even when wet and if you are going in a long run maybe bring a dry pair along for a pit stop ✅ I recommend this over membranes any day. For reference I run in Southwest Norway where we get around 300 days of rain yearly. Happy Trails 🤙🏼
r/trailrunning • Best waterproof trail runners for wider feet that are NOT gortex? All of my gortex runners end up cracking and losing their waterproof abilities within a year of using them! I would prefer som leather runners that aren’t gortex if this is a thing. Recommendations please!!! ->If you enjoy the S/Lab Genesis from your list the best fit will be either the NNormal Kjerag or the Satisfy Rocker. Both are fast shoes. Norda has higher volume, 001 has heel issues, 005 is a very fast shoe but higher volume and 002 is stack than the Genesis but doesn't feel as fast. NNormal Tomir has a higher volume mid foot Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra probably the fastest shoe on the list but very unstable and the heel is problem for a lot of people. Hoka Tecton X2 would be a fast shoe but has been been produced in over 2 years. Will be hard to find but if you can find one slightly used and or half off it will be worth the money. Asics MetaFuji trail doesn't feel fast in my opinion.
r/trailrunning • High-end shoe recommendations🤘🏼 ->My Hierro v7 were pretty great (V8 has ruined them). Now onto nnormal tomir which for me is excellent.
r/trailrunning • What’s the best trail running shoe you’ve ever owned and why? ->I've been looking for someone to say something so thank you. I'm a bigger runner (195lbs) but I threw 775 miles on my kjerig 1.0, 750 on my Tomir 1.0 and my Tomir 2.0 are still going strong at 400. Kjerig 1 is one of the best shoes I've ever owned. I just bought a pair of mount to coast r1 for road running, which I love, and I've been trying to decide if the t1 or the kjerig 2 is my next trail shoe buy
r/trailrunning • Kjerag 2.0 initial thoughts ->Speedgoats are super grippy for me but if you want even more bite I would suggest looking into NNormal and Norda.
r/trailrunning • trail running shoes ->Nnormal Tomir- my 1.0 just passed 1600km and still feel good, but starting to wear through on the upper. Got a few hundred km on the 2.0 and I like it even more than the version 1.
r/Ultramarathon • What shoes is everyone running in? ->Haha I am also rocking Tomirs and love em. My last run I also realized I was tracing Tomir footprints down the trail so word is getting out lol. But yeah I really enjoyed the SG’s for right about the first 100km and then it felt like the foam suddenly packed out hard and started shooting a ton of force into my knees and shins causing some legit pain and I immediately retired them. The Tomirs took me awhile to break in and I hated them at first but suddenly around 50km it was the shoe molded to my foot and they’ve been close to perfect ever since with a few hundred miles on em now. The casual/fashion outdoors crowd seems to have just discovered Nnormal tho so stock up while you can lol
