The outsole of these shoes is what trail runners are going crazy about. A runner said it best when they summarized their experience with: “The 8mm lugs bite.” From marshlands to backwoods and all the wet and muddy stuff in between, these shoes have “far superior grip than a traditional trail running shoe” as a critic mentioned.

The tough ballistic nylon upper is also appreciated by critics. One runner loved the “good protection bumper and tough upper” of the X-Talon Ultra 260 V2. Another found the upper material to be very effective and kept their shoes from disintegrating from rockier runs.
