Description

Montrail Shoes: Men's Hardrock Trail Running Shoe (Spring 08) - Altrec.com Product Description:

Regarded by experts and running enthusiasts as Montrail's most supportive and stable training shoe, the Hardrock is also incredibly comfortable and ideal for those who dare to run further than a 70-mile week. Inside the Hardrock is a full-length TerraFlex™ AR protection plate identical to the plate found in the award-winning Montrail Kinabalu, but unlike the Kinabalu the Hardrock has gel in the forefoot to help cushion your feet on long runs. Lightweight airmesh along the tops and sides of the upper help you air it out when the competition heats up.

Hydrophobic synthetic leather with breathable mesh
Nylex lining
Dual-density Elon EVA midsole
Gel capsule in forefoot to enhance comfort and support
Full-length TerraFlex™ AR protection plate
External heel cap and protective embossing
Supportive IntegraFIT last fits over 80% of population
Durable and grippy FasTrax carbon rubber outsole
Weight: 13 oz. (369 g.) per shoe in men's size 9

Magnificent is all I can say! If you are looking for a trail shoe that has more support, cushioning, fore-foot protection, lacing options, comfort... don't bother looking at anything else. (It's exceptionally light too!) I hate to give anything a 5-star ratings as nothing should be perfect but I simply can't find a fault. (At most I can only ask for a few more air mesh bits to help foot cooling although I haven't had a moisture problem with them yet). I get agravated metatarsal pads and these are currently the only shoes that I can run in without any discomfort whatsoever. The heel cushioning is excellent even on hard concrete surfaces and there is loads of protection on the tongue to protect the top of your foot from the laces. Much better than my Solomon (4-star) XA Pro II and vastly better than my TNF Ultra XCRs (2-star). If anyone from Montrail ever reads this review and they are designing their next model, please, please, please develop a gaiter that is compatible (like the TNF scree gaiter) with this shoe.

Nice but a bit on the heavy side. These shoes are well made and comfortable. However, their weight makes them more suitable as hikers than as trail runners.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 0 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Great Shoes These shoes are great performers. I love the snug fit and stiffer than normal sole. I found them to run true to size. The have great support for trail runner and even ultra-lite backpacking. The only thing I'd add is Gore-Tex so I could hike in wet weather. Montrail now makes a Mt. Mist XCR which is a Hardrock sole with a Highline upper.

Is this Useful? - Yes - No
