Good All Around Trail Shoe

This is my go to shoe for all trails. I race trail races up to 50K in them and love the feel.

Got these to use for rucking and some trail running, they've become my new workout shoe as well. The toe really holds up. As a bigger guy I appreciate the cushioning; my feet and knees feel just fine at the end of the run. I got them in a 14 and it was a good bit smaller than the same size in the GTS 22 & 24. I'll definitely try them a size up next time.

Okay Brooks, Very Nice Performance But I Think There Is Still Room For Improvement

On the positive side: They feel light, have good fore-aft stiffness, and have excellent traction. And a comfy fit for my feet. Fast descents are a strong point. Good tongue padding and ample toe box. On the negative side: I would prefer slightly more rocker, even more fore-aft stiffness, less torsional stiffness and better foam. And even less weight. Feels rather wooden, especially when aiming for uphill speed and speed on tight single track. They feel very cush when walking, but seem to lose that when running, while the Saucony Endorphin Edge (which was discontinued and I’m searching for a replacement for) was the opposite: felt hard when walking but gave phenomenal cushion and spring at speed, while maintaining excellent trail feel, allowing great uphill and technical trail performance.

New Shoes

So I was looking for a replacement shoe for my favorite that was discontinued, and was hesitant about spending so much money on them as I don't consider myself a runner. Well I am glad I bought these and they are very comfortable. I still haven't run them in a race but I am happy with them. Thank you, Cathy

My favorite shoes, I got them in the color brown, usually Brooks shoes have an ugly color scheme, but some of them are really beautiful. These run a little tight, which is good because you can break them in and they are still snug.
