What 5 critics said
Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 96Outdoor Adept
Still the gold standard for soft, muddy ground with unbeatable traction and confidence, though warm, firm and slightly heavy.
Read Outdoor Adept review - 91Run to the Finish
A benchmark wet-weather and steep-trail specialist that grips mud superbly and fits narrow feet like a glove, but too much for smooth or hot-weather runs.
Read Run to the Finish review - 86CleverHiker
One of the reviewers' favorites for long runs on soft terrain, with a glove-like fit and deep lugs, though the high drop and some quirks may not suit everyone.
Read CleverHiker review - 79OutdoorGearLab
The traction specialist for soft dirt and mud that is also comfortable all day, but not ideal as an only shoe for hardpack or dry rocky terrain.
Read OutdoorGearLab review - 70RunningShoesGuru
Durable and secure on soft, steep trails, but overkill elsewhere: cleat-like on hardpack, under-cushioned for long distance and warm in heat.
