For road, on trail and varied terrain, they may be the best shoe on the market. The Pro's and Con's are as follows:
PRO'S:
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. When I was done these shoes little more than a few bruises to show. The soles have seen their share of abuse, but everything else looks like it did the day I pulled them out of the box.
Comfort
They may be a little too comfortable. They fit like gloves and give the sensation of running on clouds which for me translated to a bit of insecurity with my footing, but I got over it. They cruise over boulders and bumps with ease and leave your feet cushioned and comfortable throughout the whole ordeal.
Fit
I wear a size 13 and they fit true to size. They did seem a little roomy in the toe box, but the heel cup felt snug (all-around a great fit).
CON'S:
Grip
I was disappointed when I ventured onto slick red rock for a little scrambling. They seemed to slip and lose grip on simple climbs and overall scored poor remarks as an approach shoe.
OVERALL:
Great shoe and has the capability to take you from road to trail in one fell swoop. BUY THESE SHOES if you want a durable and comfortable running shoe.
