What can one say about such a shoe. It is a legendary shoe for a group of runners with specific requirements. I would NOT recommend it to everyone due to the zero drop (zero height difference between the forefoot and the heel. This results in the calf muscle working more intensely and someone who has not transitioned from the usually higher drop may get tired and possibly injured. Now for barefoot running enthusiasts, it is an incredible choice. Huge space in the toes (people with wide feet or bunions will love it), more snug in the midfoot than previous versions (needs a good tightening otherwise tends to rotate in lateral steps), very good grip in all conditions I have worn it. On sharp rocks and due to the medium cushioning (25 mm) you will feel them but not to the extent of feeling the edge (it has an integrated rock plate). The size corresponds to the usual sizes you wear and the weight at 295 grams per piece I consider it in a medium category. The durability of its materials did not disappoint me neither in the upper part but mainly in the lower part where after about 500 km it still has "teeth".
P.S. They are comfortable to wear as hiking shoes and although ankle support is missing due to the low height from the ground, it does not tend to invert the foot.
