Description of Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe - Women's:
The Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe is a hardcore shoe whose unique design has earned it a rabid following amongst adventure racers, ultra-marathoners, and runners who don't care much for pavement. The most immediately noticeable thing about the Vitesse is its form-fitting internal bootie. Simply put, the Vitesse feels like a sock when you slip it on, with maximum shoe to foot contact for comfort and control. It's a sock with teeth though. Luggy tread on a stiff sole protects your feet from rocks and debris, with an extra lug outside your instep to add extra protection against ankle roll. Mesh-vented uppers make for great breathability and work with the hydrophobic uppers to dry fast on the fly. No quarter asked and none given for weather or trail conditions with the Vitesse.
Bottom Line: Trails, trails and more trails. Roads are for wimps.
i can't wait to order this shoe in an 8.5. If you normally wear an 8, I had to go up a half size. Great for those with narrow heals. Hope that they come up with some more colors.
The leather is so thick that these don't really breathe. Not good for a summer trail shoe. Also, they run small. I am an 8.5 and ordered the 9, which was so small it was killing my feet. The best my feet felt all day was when I took these off.
