I love trail running. I have only been at it for a year but I wore out my other Fairhavens. I really love the cush and they are very light weight. They do well for me on technical trails and my feet don't seem to get tired from roots and rocks. I couldn't find another pair locally and was so happy to get them thru Amazon. Quick delivery and shoes are perfect...til I hit my first muddy spot! Bring on the trail. :)
