Got them for my daughter for cross country training. She loves the support the shoe gives for running up hills. The traction is extremely good and shines on loose terrain. She prefers her other brooks for road running and uses her catamounts exclusively for trails. Great shoe!

Good support, light and cushiony. No low back, hip or knee pain after hilly 5k on concrete. Good fit and shape

Great for softball, grips the ground but is light as a running shoe.

Great Trail Shoe

Really no break in period, they are comfortable and fast right out of the box. Good traction on mountain trails and protection from rocks underfoot. I've been really happy with Catamount since version 1 and this one is no different.

Size Up

Was very dissapounted in thus shoe as I have never owned a pair of brooks shoes and wanted to get the right size before ordering. I went to the store and tried 3 different models of brooks and was happy with the fit as they all seemed to fet well. However, I could not find this particular model in the store but since the other models that I tried on all seemed to fit the same I was confident in placing my order for a size 10. I received my order in a week and was excited to get this pair of shoes until I put them on. Horrable fit! I normally wear a 9.5 -10 and these shoes in size 10 are actually about a size 9. I didn't appreciate the inconvenience of receiving such a poor fitting shoe that I will likely not try this brand again.
