These shoes are awesome!! I wore them for the first time at a Spartan Super (9 hilly miles). They held up great, water drained very well which kept the shoes light during my race. Great traction on the goat trails in Temecula, CA and the sandy trails in AZ.

The sizing runs a little small. I wear between a 7 & 7 1/2 (US Women's) depending on the shoes (NIke or Adidas) and I went with the 7, as the 7 1/2's were too big. They also feel a little narrow, but that's not a bad thing.
