These are good trail runners. They are cute, comfortable and well made. They have awesome traction, the bottoms are super grippy so there's no slipping on loose rock or gravel. They are a bit on the stiff side but that didn't bother me too much. My only complaints are they could use more cushioning...they are very comfortable but I found that after 5 miles my feet start to get very sore. I even added cushioned insoles but still found I needed something more. They are also squeaky...this didn't bother me since I usually wear headphones when I hike but I know it has bothered some people. I probably won't buy these again but I'm happy with them for now.
