Here's what other sites are saying:

From EMS:
"Featuring a fluid-filled midsole chamber, this low-profile trail runner was made with the effective cushioning it needs to face the demands of off-road surfaces. A hardworking shoe that won't let rain get in its way with it's ventilating, quick-draining, and quick-drying upper tops, providing you with peace of mind in wet weather. Microfiber synthetic upper is light, supple, and increases moisture evaporation. Substance 257 midsole compound formulated to resist compression and rebound more quickly than typical EVA. S-257 midsole has been tested to be 15% more durable than EVA, meaning your 400th mile has the same great ride as your first. Center chamber is filled with liquid silicon to dampen shock at impact; fluid is dynamically dispersed at a controlled rate around the heel for cushioning and rebounding on every stride. Independent, medial-lateral Pivot posts in the midsole/outsole help you maintain footing over uneven trails. Ballistic textile between outsole and midsole disperses point-load pressure from rocks and keeps a flexible forefoot for a terrain-compliant ride. Developed specifically by Brooks, HPR (High Performance Rubber) provides greater resistance to high wear on the outsole."

From REI:
"A cushioned workhorse for running on rougher trails, these shoes feature adaptable posts to adjust to terrain irregularities for greater stability. Durable synthetic leather/nylon mesh uppers are lightweight and airy for quick-drying and -draining performance. Nylon linings absorb and disperse moisture for enhanced comfort; removable insoles add cushioning. Midsoles feature S-257™, a special EVA compound formulated to resist compression and rebound more quickly than standard EVA. Medial and lateral Pivot™ post system helps outsoles adapt, reduce and stabilize uneven surfaces. Silicone-based HydroFlow® system at heel and forefeet feature a fluid-filled center chamber that dampens shock. Forefoot Ballistic Rock Shields™ are a reinforced ballistic textile material designed to protect feet from sharp point-load pressures from rocks. HPR™ outsoles are made of high-density carbon rubber for outstanding durability and feature aggressive lugs for maximum trail bite."

"Man, these shoes rock. Best trail runners I've ever had. I'm 180 lbs and a mild overpronator. I have about as normal a foot as you could get and the fit is perfect; plenty of room in toebox but not sloppy feeling; they hug my heels.

I run trail and road in them they're so comfy."

"Great shoes... good for all types of trails and the best stability out there!!! I bought these shoes after testing many of the highest rated shoes on a tred mill. The shoes were by far, the best in stability and did the best job with my stride (200 lb's overpronate). Pushing 300 miles on the shoes and they are as good as the first day. Highly recommended!!!"

"I bought these shoes due to the fact that they were said the be the "best ultrarunning trail shoe" around. I beg to differ. These shoes are NOT designed for people who overpronate or weigh 200+ lbs. I happen to do both. I will say that these shoes feel great."
