Tomir 01 Waterproof

I‘m unfortunately also very prone to ankle rolls. That’s we many shoes are out of question for me already when I do a slight roll test while standing in them. The NNormal shoes work fine for me except the Kjerag 2. I sent them back after standing in them. What works for me is: - Kjerag - Tomir 1 - Tomir 2 (best) - Tomir 2 NN (feels harder) - Cadí (my new favorite) I‘m personally very impressed by the durability. I had to retire most shoes at the 400km mark. With Salomon Sense Ultra, already the last 100k from 300k upwards were bad. On the Tomirs, I could do 1000k. However, the last 200k were merely fillers because I wanted to reach the 1000k mark. I‘ve never before ran in shoes >500km and I have >80 pairs of shoes tracked in my strava.

Yes, consistent sizing throughout the line. I‘d say durability as a whole. With Salomon (my other go to) I kill the outsole after 300k and also the midsole starts to give. The NNormals were consistent good in all respects. Even pairs used in races didn’t look terrible on the upper. Of course, after 700k it wasn’t a fresh shoe of course but still fully functional. With Salomon, the upper started to give too, especially with shoes I raced in (>100k trail ultras). My theory is that the salt from sweating during race efforts weakens the upper. Disclaimer: i got my Cadi only recently and only ran about 250k in them, so I can’t comment on the durability yet.

Well, they are a lot softer. More gentle cushioning and midsole and also less sturdy upper. They come with a vibram outsole and the grip is the same as with Tomir /Kjerag. I think the shoe is positioned as a more gentle training trail shoe with the less "professional" athlete in mind. After my first run in the Cadí  I was wondering whether NNormal deliberately made Tomit 2.0 NN harder to have a clearer product differentiation to the Cadí  (my guess). The Cadí  come at a slightly lower price point too.

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've written plenty of responses on these. They're epic for grip, uphill, weigh is very good and they're pretty comfy. Oh and most of all they last forever. They are less good for toebox comfort, running downhill (I just find my toes bash around too much) and I had a weird stitching issue on mine as they added more to the V2 and it caused blisters. I hacked at it so they're pretty good now but no idea if that is my pair of all of them. I've done 550km so far and they'll make 1k km just like the V1 before them.

Nnormal tomir continue to be on sale here in Australia for sub $100. I've just hit 920km in my first pair. They'll absolutely do 1000 and then I'll move onto the next :) an awesome daily trainer (unlike what Hoka claim to be).

Absolutely bombproof

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.

I wore nothing but Altra for 10 years, but for the past couple of years have switched to Nnormal. The Tomir has a decently wide toe box (not Altra level but good enough I can run 80k with no issues). The durability is great- I just retired my first pair at 1700km and have another pair at 900km which still feel perfectly fine.

Just got the Cadi, and also have Kjerag and Tomir. I’d say the Cadi fits true to size, way more cushy than the Kjerag, slightly more cushy than the Tomir. The toe box is quite roomy- not quite Altra level of roomy, but lots of room. I had a 50k on the weekend and used Cadis straight out of the box (bit of a gamble) and they were perfect.

I wore Lone Peaks almost exclusively for years, but for past 2 years have been wearing Nnormal. The Kjerag definitely does NOT have a wide toe box, but the Tomir (the version 2 in particular) is pretty decent. I’ve worn them for several long races (80-120k) with no issues at all with my toes feeling squished and no rubbing/ blisters.

The 1 is good for hiking and walking but not great for running. Just very dead.
