[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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Nnormal Tomir - you feel everything but also don’t feel anything, they are great!
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!
Sized up Nnormal Tomir.
1 size. They’re pretty much the same width all the way through and the upper is flexible, so I don’t feel cramped or like I’m falling off them. Great shoes, highly recommend.
