User Review: Montrail Tamarack
|
Rating: 
Materials: nubak upper
Use: short hike, day hike, approach
Break-in Period: NONE
Weight: 2lbs
Price Paid: USD 50
Great trail and approach shoe. Comfortable and supportive.
Pros:
- fits great. the upper nubak leather is soft and confirms to the feet to give a great snug fit necessary for these kind of shoes.
- PU midsole provides great cushion and does not compress like EVA midsoles. I carried my 25lb son in a Kelty backpack (total weight 30lbs) for several 2-3 hour hikes in moderately rugged trails -- no discomfort, fatigue, or blister
- wicks moisture quickly
- breathes well
- great looks
- tow and heel rands handle the bumps and extend the life of the shoes
- light weight
- true multi purpose shoes
Cons:
- no ankle support, but it's a low cut so I did not expect it
- little too flexy
- no shank in the sole
Overall a great shoe for doing it all. And it's really comfortable. I used a Vasque Catalyst and an Asolo Fuego before this shoe for the same purpose. But, the Tamarack provided me much better protection, support and comfort than any of those shoes.
You cannot go wrong with it if you use it for the right purpose.
Enjoy
