Tomir 02 Gore-Tex Shoe

Got these and the new Tomir 02 NN (straight laces) yesterday. Only used them for two walks in the forest (some short running to test as well) to get a feeling of them / trying to dial in lacing etc. The midsole is really great, and has a lot of bounce, but I think that with my weight these won't be shoes for the long distances, even with the increased stack. Definitely more volume in toe box compared to Kjerag 01 (or just a more forgiving upper?), 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. With the Kjerag 02 I only sized up half a size, which is what I often have to due to slightly wider feed than average. I find the shoes to be slightly longer than I prefer for me feet, but that's about it.

Love the Nnormal approach of Kilian: Love the scarpa mosquito for approach, scrambling and such, but will switch to use the Tomir 02 for all hiking, scrambling, Trailrunning short of actual rock climbing in the future As some commenter on YouTube said „the best 45min ad I’ve ever watched“: https://www.nnormal.com/en_DE/content/sketching-the-future?srsltid=AfmBOooCdmAyT4StW5dskYBVrsiNaOACL36fxVuitMFFSm6WIU4ZO4LW

I have been enjoying the Tomir 2 gore tex recently for snowy runs, the 5mm lugs have been perfect and feet have stayed dry. I think they have an 8mm drop tho.

YMMV, and what works for someone might not work for someone else. Ideally go to a shop and try several models before taking a decision. That being said, have a look at NNormal Tomir GTX, they are waterproof and have great traction in snow thanks to the Vibram sole, as well as being some of the comfiest/most durable shoes I've owned.

It's hard to say for certain without knowing more about you, so I'd say go to a running store first. But for me the NNormal Tomir 2 are the absolute best trail shoes I've ever ran in : super comfortable, good grip on rough terrain, and super durable. Had mine for a bit less than 800km and they show absolutely no sign of slowing down. Can't recommend enough!

I like the mud as well but the high alpine is closed until June! Love the NNormal, these are the Tomir 2, didn't really like the first model which had a weird-ish fit but these are my favorite trail shoes ever. Super comfortable with great durability. I have 800+km on them now and feel like they can keep going for at least 1/3 more. Only shoe as durable I've owned were an older model of Brooks Cascadia that are now long gone.

I had a few pairs of Hokas and enjoyed them but durability is a major issue. Same thing with Salomon really. My only durable shoe in the pas has been a pair of Brooks Cascadia. Today I've moved on to NNormal Tomir 02 and I find much more comfort, grip and durability than Hokas - just a thought! On to my third pair!

NNormal Tomir are what you're looking for! Super durable for mountainous terrain, with a great Vibram outsole and insane grip.

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 find the Tomir more comfortable tbh. Ive yet to run each shoe to death so idk which will last longer but they both seem durable

Hope they work well for you and I think they should last, I have speedgoats with about the same miles as the Tomir and the Tomir is holding up much better. My other tip for that shoe is that it has the asymmetric laces which were weird for me at first but you can get them really tight over your foot without pain and get great lockdown that way

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!
