5.0 out of 5 stars Great minimalist trail running shoe, September 27, 2010

I normally wear Vibram Five Finger shoes for most of my running and CrossFit workouts, so I am used to minimalist shoes. This year I took up trail running, and really needed something with a bit more aggressive tread than my KSO Treks provided. The x-talon 212 have been a wonderful shoe. Aggressive tread provides secure traction on even the muddiest trails. Lightweight comfortable fit with roomy toe-box make switching to these from the VFFs fine for me. I have medium width feet and did not find the x-talon 212's to be too narrow at all.

Took these right out of the box, with no "break in" at all, and did an 8 mile trail run/hike. They were very comfortable, and surprisingly for a brand new pair of sneakers, left my feet quite comfortable with no blisters! They are extremely light and don't offer a lot of support however, but their light weight does add to their flexibility. Not the cheapest choice, but if they continue to perform as they did this first time, I can say I'm rather pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son is very adventurous and loves these shoes!, November 9, 2011

My son did a lot of research on shoes b4 purchasing these. He loves them and they hold up well. He is always hiking through many different types of terrain. These are the only shoes he purchases now for his adventures!
