Great review in a fun shoe. I felt that the shoe wasn't too wide, but like you, there seem to be just a tad too much upper fabric requiring me to pull those laces more than usual. Despite that, it was comfortable around my foot (even with a thin tongue). I do wish the upper sides had more structure to hold my foot from moving side to side on uneven trails, but otherwise, it's a blast of a shoe to run in and really excels on gravel roads vs single track trails.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Yeah this is definitely a great shoe for gravel roads!

I think Arlen Glick @ Manu wore these at Cocodona 250 this year

GREAT REVIEW 🙌
I’ve been wondering about these shoes

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks! I’ve met Arlen on the trails here in Colorado; super nice guy!

[@marcoc2706]

The lack-of-structure upper seems to be Craft's problem all along.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

I agree.

[@SeeChadRun]

FIRST!
