Despite what the overview says, this is in no way a trail shoe. It may look like it in the blue colour displayed (it looks better in the white option), but as far as I'm concerned this is a road shoe, and I'd go so far as to say that it isn't even particularly brilliant on wet roads, let alone a trail surface. For me though they score because they're great for flat feet and are the only shoe I've ever run in that has never given me arch blisters. They aren't the most cushioned, they aren't the hardest wearing, but the fact I can run blister free means they'll keep me as a customer
