From Backcountry.com:
"The End Men's Stumptown 12oz Trail Running Shoe doesn't mind that you have a short attention span. This light shoe loves trail runs, impromptu forest explorations, and urban trekking, and if they all happen in a day, so much the better. What's really rad about this shoe is that End made it with a recycled EVA midsole, outsole, webbing, and laces, and a bamboo-infused lining. The Stumptowns cut down on unnecessary materials, follow the shape of your foot for natural flex, and still provide torsional and medial support. Enjoy the roomy forefoot width on long adventures."

From REI:
"END Stumptown 12 oz. shoes are like multi-tools for your feet, excellent for the outdoor generalist, avid trail runner, and urban wanderer. Environmentally Neutral Designs (END) questions every material and process that goes into manufacturing, striving to minimize environmental impact. Durable ripstop nylon and nylon mesh uppers are highly breathable; synthetic leather overlays provide structure and support. Rubber toe caps provide protection for uppers and toes against bumps and abrasion. Polyester and natural bamboo fiber are blended to offer moisture-wicking and antimicrobial linings. Compression-molded EVA midsoles feature 10% recycled EVA content and supply cushioning comfort for extended wear; EVA posting helps control pronation. Structural thermoplastic urethane plates deliver support, stability and rock protection; plates are co-molded into midsoles, eliminating use of cement. Trail Radius durable carbon rubber outsoles contain 25% recycled rubber regrind and supply solid traction on all types of terrain."

From RockCreek:
"The Stumptown 12 Trail Shoe by Environmentally Neutral Design aka END, is the heavier shoe of their line-up and its only 12 ounces! Made to be a trail hiker as well as an option for experienced trail runners out there. A great shoe for a trained running foot that provides a stable platform and stone bruise protection, while still remaining to be one of the lightest shoes out on the trails, the stores and possibly the US! The Stumptown 12 has minimalist overlays to add stability and durability to its very light package. The midsole is designed to give you support, lateral containment and excellent heel capture to provide a more efficient stride and a lower center of gravity. If you are a runner or hiker who needs precision and comfort, you will get it in this midsole. Constructed with a protection plate for torsional stability and stone-bruise protection. The protection plate is cut from sheet stock ESS and then co-molded with the mid-sole which allows for natural forefoot flex and eliminates the need for glue. The outsole is made with a combination of recycled and virgin carbon rubber that gives you traction on any sort of surface."

Pros: Very light, vent well, fast drying, good traction - wet and dry, supportive and comfortable with ample room in the forefoot.

Cons: The foam rubber on the outer sole is soft and will scuff and get "chewed" up in rough terrain.

Other Thoughts: While these shoes are great out of the box if you plan on using them a lot while carrying a pack or in rocky terrain you may want to invest in a pair of insoles for a little more protection and rigidity.

"First off, this is an excellent example of the direction new and old shoe manufacturers need to start taking. The "green" way END Footwear is using and developing brings not a new but a positive outlook for sustainability in outdoor wear industries."
