wanted a softer layer of foam, but others who run in thinner, more responsive models raved about the cushioning., we found the heel is exceptionally thin and firm compared to other shoes on the market. But, because the shoe has just a 4mm drop , the forefoot is fairly thick and softer than average. That thickness also lends some additional protection if you’re bashing over sharp rocks.Like with the XTRM, there was unanimous praise among our test crew for the Maxx outsole’s performance.
“I’ve run in Salomons, Reebok’s Spartan sneakers, and Altras, yet these are way better!” gushed one tester. “I didn’t really slip at all, and I ran a lot on wet, leafy terrain. The traction is incredible.”This shoe isn’t a casual jogger for your local rail trails. No, you’re going to lace this thing up for harrowing ascents and filthy scrambles. Such outings will eat up lightweight, flimsy shoes.
