From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Montrail Men's Namche Shoe (Spring 2008) Specifications for the Namche Shoe by Montrail Animal: Thru-hiking Bushwhacking Hot and humid Dry and dusty Comfort: Weight-minimizing construction Ventilated abrasion-resistant forefoot Protection of a boot Feel of a running shoe in a mid-height design Performance: Gryptonite GT sticky traction Stout ankle support Ultrarunning-proven stability and protection"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Montrail Namche Hiker has the brain of a trail runner with the body of a hiking boot you can take it anywhere. The Namche's high-cut ankle gives you excellent lateral support on scree slopes or off-camber jaunts. While the Namche Boot may look like an all out hiking boot, its weight conscious design will have you wondering why your haggard, old trail runners aren't high cut too. The Namche's Integrafit lasts ensure a comfortable fit and have roomy toe boxes with a snug forefoot. This way, when you're heading down the Bright Angel trail, your toes won't jam into the front of the shoe, yet the fit will remain snug. These Montrail hiking boots also have lightweight protection plates to bolster torsional rigidity."

"The Montrail Namche might be sold using terminology like 'fast packing' 'thru-hiking' and other slick-sounding outdoor industry buzzwords. . . but let's get down to brass tacks. The Namche is a high top trail running shoe.

Compared to a standard trail running shoe, it will give you some more ankle support and will be a bit better at keeping debris out."

Reviewed by Alicia, Aug 30, 2007

"When the Montrail Namche—a lightweight, mid-cut hiker built on top of a trail running platform—was named Backpacker’s Best Fastpacking Boot for 2007 it caught my eye. While I have several trail runners and heavy-duty backpacking boots I like very much, I had yet to find the right, light but sturdy, trail shoe for moving fast."
