NNormal - Tomir 01 Waterproof

[https://www.nnormal.com/en\_US/content/tomir-waterproof](https://www.nnormal.com/en_US/content/tomir-waterproof) I ran in these last winter in Reno, even on Peavine trails, and they keep you dry, the grip is great. Not for your asphalt slamdowns.

Nnormal Tomirs are a great shoe for mud, wet rocks, and snow. I'd look for something with a vibram outsole (or VJ shoes), they're consistently among the best performing.

Nnormal Tomir comes in a tall waterproof model.

I feel you there, I have a pair of the Tomir ankle high waterproof shoes for clomping around in the snow and snowshoe running, but they don't fit my narrow feet well enough to be a normal running shoe.

Fit and feel is going to (mostly) be a subjective thing. I have friends who run 100 milers in shoes that would cut me up in 20k and vice versa. Unfortunately with trail running, due to the ever variable nature of trails, it's a never ending hunt for shoes that are good matches for your feet. Good luck and happy hunting! edit: Whether it helps or not, my favorite shoe in my current rotation is the Nnormal Tomir's. I'm still using the 1st version and am about to hit 700km on it. The Tomir 2's are already out and addressed the only 2 issues I had with the shoe: the foam and the toe protector. I'll be getting a pair of the 2's for the spring and running them into the damn ground just like I did these first ones. My rotation right now is a mix of tomir, kjereg, peregrine, lone peaks and nikes and of them the tomirs are the only shoe that a) I can run 50 miles in without any blister / foot issues and b) are actually built strong enough to handle a series of races in a row without completely falling apart. They're like an old toyota pick up truck. Not flashy, just reliable.

I’m on my third pair of Tomir’s V1. 1400 and 1200kms on the previous pairs and my only problem was the collar began to wear away and irritate my Achilles. I kept regular size, but I believe the V2 has a slightly different toe box, which might disqualify them as an option for you.

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

I found the toe box on the Kjerag and Tommirs really tight fitting as well. I just use my Kjerags for short and fast fell races. Anything over 90 mins and they're too uncomfortable.

Nnormal Tomir - you feel everything but also don’t feel anything, they are great!

I have been really impressed with Nnormal. I have yet to try the Kjerags but have two pairs of Tomirs, which I absolutely adore! They somehow cushion the sharp rocks and roots and yet still allow you to feel everything! I have a narrow foot so have not had any issues with them and do size down a half size like you suggested. I would recommend them to anyone looking to try something new.

I have two pairs of Nnormal Tomirs and love them! You feel the trail perfectly, but also feel like you’re floating at the same time, they are great!

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.

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!

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.
