*These run a 1/2 size smaller so order larger than normal!*

I do all of my running at the local state park in wooded trails or grassy plains/hills.  After dealing with a lot of shin and leg problems from running in $15 Starter sneakers on such terrain, I looked to purchase a solid pair of running shoes specifically designed for trails.  I did some reading and learned that part of the problem was my form, and part of it was wearing cheap shoes.

Although the color choices aren't all that thrilling, these shoes are of solid make with a great design for trail running.  They cushion my feet comfortably and provide good arch support.  The traction is so outstanding that I almost feel like there is an invisible force aiding me forward.  They are very "bouncy" shoes which is great for someone like me.  It feels as if the shoes have aided my speed, balance, and impact while running.

When running on top of rocks or roots, I can't feel them.  The absorption is that good.

I would recommend these to a friend, and when I wear these out, I will likely be ordering a new pair.
