Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"This speed-inducing Pursuit recruits highly breathable and completely waterproof GORE-TEX XCR to supercharge the protection and performance of a technical trail runner. Anatomically molded across the instep, a TPU shield dissipates lace pressure and anchors the micro-adjustable Omni-Fit lacing system. The EVA footframe has gender-specific alignment properties. The Vibram Full SpeedPro Sole is cutaway for lightness but aggressively treaded."

From REI:
"Supercharge your trail runs and adventure racing with these waterproof, breathable trail-running shoes from Merrell. Durable synthetic leather and nylon mesh uppers offer lasting flexibility, breathability and comfort for active use. Injection-molded thermoplastic urethane support straps add stability to uppers while minimizing weight. 3M® Scotchlite™ reflective accents provide 360° of visibility for enhanced safety in low-light conditions. Seam-sealed Vision Gore-Tex® XCR® liners supply total water protection and amazing breathability for comfort in wet conditions. Padded tongues and collars relieve lace pressure; gusseted tongues with TPU Omni-Fit™ lacing keep out debris and secure instep. Webbing eyelets and heel entry loops for durability; rubber heel and toe caps protect uppers and feet from bumps and abrasion. Moisture-wicking nylon linings dry quickly and move moisture away from feet for enhanced comfort. Anatomically-shaped EVA footbeds with wicking Nylex topsheets add cushioning and feature shock-absorbing metatarsal pads in forefeet. Compression-molded EVA midsoles with integral mesh/polyurethane forefoot protection shields add cushioning and protect from uneven surfaces. Control alignment dual-density EVA midsole inserts help slow pronation for enhanced control and support through the gait cycle. Air Cushion® heel pockets deliver shock-absorbing relief and stabilization to trail-weary heels. Dual-density TPU molded arch supports with medially extended forefoot lugs add torsional rigidity and support for solid stability on rough trails. Vibram® Full SpeedPro® rubber outsoles supply durable traction and braking on various surfaces. Variable density Trek and TC1 rubber compounds offer enhanced durability and extra grip in key areas of outsoles."

"I purchased the shoes in September of 2008. I wore them mostly for road walking until Spring of 2009, when I went off road. The shoe itself is very stiff. Within 1 month of regular wear, the reflective decals and plastic decals on the outside started pealing away."
