As light and cushioned as a road running shoe, but with aggressive tread and a true stepped heel. This makes for great performance as a real trail running shoe, but most buy it for light fast hiking.

"I got to try a demo version of this shoe at my local trail running shop. With demos in hand I headed straight for my favorite trails and was happy to find that they handled the nastiest stuff with amazing stability and traction. Not wanting to damage the demos I headed back to shop and purchased a pair the next morning."
