From Backcountry.com:
"The Montrail Hard Rock, inspired by the Hardrock 100 ultra race, is built for the rough, rocky terrain of its namesake. Providing the utmost stability and traction, protection doesn't sacrifice agility, flexibility or weight. It's versatile enough for quick runs or long hikes thanks to its platform design. Aggressive lugs let you plow through dirt and mud with traction. With a wider midsole and molded protection plate sculpted for flexibility during forward motion it protects the bottom of your foot from bruising. The firm heel counter holds you steady. Designed with a metatarsal gel pad for cushion in the forefoot, and a high-density medial post, Hard Rock helps prevent pronation (and turned ankles). Webbing strips and synthetic overlays in the upper provide killer support. Using an IntegraFit last, these shoes feel like they're custom made. Montrail even used style cleverly with embossing that doubles as abrasion protection so they last longer."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"Regarded by experts and running enthusiasts as Montrail's most supportive and stable training shoe, the Hardrock is also incredibly comfortable and ideal for those who dare to run further than a 70-mile week. Inside the Hardrock is a full-length TerraFlex AR protection plate identical to the plate found in the award-winning Montrail Kinabalu, but unlike the Kinabalu the Hardrock has gel in the forefoot to help cushion your feet on long runs. Lightweight airmesh along the tops and sides of the upper help you air it out when the competition heats up."
From RockCreek:
"The Hardrock Trail Running shoe by Montrail is designed and constructed for running the toughest mountain races. Montrail, always producers of the top trail running shoes, has created a shoe with a full length TPU plate in the mid-sole of the shoe that gives you protection from rough terrain and provides support during long periods of running, hiking and walking. This midsole also provides pronation control and with its multidirectional lug design, you can get traction on all sorts of surfaces and directions. Updated for 2008, the Hardrock now has new materials that are even better for breathability, fit and comfort. This shoe also comes in a Wide and fits D-EE feet."

This shoe fits wonderfully and lets you run over rocky trails like you are wearing top-dollar road shoes on a newly paved street. The protection plate is super tough but flexes very well and the sole is wide enough to give excellent stability on very rough terrain without sacrificing weight or making the shoe feel clunky."

Durability
Bomb proof, literally. I have dragged these puppies from the razor sharp volcanic rock fields of Maui's Haleakela to the dusty and rutted summit trail of Mt St Helens and all throughout the Mojave Desert in between."

I am a big guy--185#--and this shoe didn't skip a beat. I do have custom orthotics which help with the overpronation, but I will buy another pair!!"
