Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

There's no trail the Rockridge can’t tackle, so lace up and get out there. A breathable mesh upper gets added support from a specialized web design that'll keep you steady and stable on uneven terrain, while a specialized midsole offers cushioning and responsiveness for a better performance step by step. A traction-hungry lug outsole will keep you on your feet and on the move.

Product Description

Montrail blended superb cushioning with a snug performance fit to make the Men's Rockridge Trail Running Shoe a primo jack-of-all-trades on the trial. Thin structural overlays wrap around the foot for support without excessive weight. And in between the overlays, mesh maintains airflow to spare your toes the ol' sweat-lodge syndrome. Compression-molded EVA with Terra-Hex technology enhances cushioning and multi-directional flexibility. And since your outsole is your ultimate connection with the trail surface, Montrail paid special attention to designing the shoe's Gryptonite outsole. Its dual lug tread pattern provides solid traction no matter how the trail slopes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid trail shoe for ultra-running, September 3, 2010

I looked at a number of different trail shoes but decided on this one from Montrail. Their shoes fit me well in the past so it felt like less of a chance ordering this one without trying it on first. The shoes fit great. My first test run was an 18-mile trail run. I had zero issues.

Having passed that test, I used them for this year's Leadville 100 trail run. The only issue I had was a small hot spot on my pinky toe at mile 40. A little duct tape prevented that from becoming a blister. These shoes really gave me confidence on the downhills. No one passed me while I descended from Hope Pass to Twin Lakes -- not bad for a Detroit guy, but much credit goes to the shoes. They really hooked up and felt stable.

I was initially concerned that the rock guard did not cover the heel, but that was not a problem.

Overall, I can recommend them for easy, short trail runs as well as 100-milers through the Rocky's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these shoes, October 6, 2010

I usually run in NB 1226 because I need the extra cushioning. Now I run a little over 20 miles per week on gravel roads and my feet were killing me from stepping on the pointed and uneven rocks. These Montrail shoes are surprisingly light weight, much less than the NB, but do a great job protecting your feet from all the sharp edges. The rock shield works like a champ, but is still flexible and does not make the shoe overly rigid. I would never run in them on hard surgfaces like asphalt or concrete because they lack the cushioning of the NB, but for sharp or uneven surfaces they are awesome.

I just started running consistently this last year, so I don't have a lot of experience with running shoes. I do have an indoor pair of Nike Frees which I like, but for outdoors, I use the Montrail Rockridge trail shoes. In my opinion, the Rockridge trail shoes are more comfortable than the Nike Frees, but they are slightly heavier and the bottom has rubber, which makes the Rockridge shoes harder. However, the whole reason I bought these is because outdoor terrain is less forgiving than an indoor/outdoor track. These shoes feel comfortable on grass, gravel, and anything not paved/cemented. When I run on cement they feel a little stiff, but I prefer to run on the earth next to the sidewalk. These shoes are designed for trails, and from what I can tell, they hold up well. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for an outdoor trail running shoe. I gave a 5-star review because they are excellent for what they are designed for. I would not buy these for running on cement/pavement, but like I said, they are designed as trail shoes.

I'm a size 10 and ordered a size 10 which fit great. I usually don't order shoes online because I don't know how they will fit. But this really worked out. I can't wear shoes that have a high arch. Thankfully, these do not.
