Tomir 01

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 so impressed with the Nnormals, both the Kjereg's and the Tomir's are just straight up workhorses.

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

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

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.

I tried the Peregrine for the first time this month, had blisters everywhere, probably the least fun shoes I've run in. Today I did my 10 km test run with the Tomir (1.0): a completely different league, responsive, fast, lighter, very comfortable, just a little less stable. I don't have wide feet though

Owning both I would pick Norda. My frst pair of Norda is at about 900km/560miles. Still in pretty good condition, although the outsole is a little worn down it still has lots of grip. The midsole is in a very good condition, feels responsive on trails as well as tarmac. Second pair is 550km/340mils and basically im a condition that other brands would be at around 150km or so. Tomir is really nice as well. My Tomir 1.0 lasted around 650km before I transitioned them to sneakers I wear to the office. The midsole started feeling a little stiff/flat on runs. My pair of Tomir 2.0 have about the same mileage on them as the my second pair of Norda, they seem in a slightly worse shape but not by much.
