Sweet shoes man! The first time I tried these shoes they were loaned to me for a weekly trail running program. After the first time I wore them I was amazed at what a difference they make on the trails. They give a solid grip and keep stones from rolling away beneath the feet, and are light and breathable enough to dry out in no time after a soggy joggy (eughh sorry)! I ended up purchasing myself a pair after the first time I tried them. True to size for a running shoe which I generally wear a size up from my regular shoes although it helped that I had the opportunity to try them on beforehand. HOT IN BLUE AND PURPLE TOO!
