Men's X-1
Reviewed by Tamara, Jul 15, 2006

"This trail runner is billed as the top shoe for those looking to actually run bigtime mountains, but fails to perform in some of the most basic ways. The sneaker's major flaw is durability.

I understand that it's meant to be lightweight (for racing) but I took them out for 4-5 mountain runs and the front tread of the shoe was completely shredded and worn down almost completely on the toe area."
