Description of Montrail Continental Divide Trail Running Shoe - Women's:
Montrail knows what trail runners need—lots of stable cushioning, a low center of gravity, and a fit that's snug at the heel and roomy at the toes. The Montrail Women's Continental Divide Trail Running Shoe has it all. These shoes give the aggressive trail runner everything she needs to take on the burliest trails. Terra Hex lining in the heel and forefoot displaces strikes from sharp rocks and prevents heel-lift, while a wide toe-box eliminates painful contact points on rugged downhills. A TPU heel support and internal panels lock your foot in place, and Montrail's Gryptonite soles provide sure-footed grip over any terrain. The double-mesh upper dries quickly after stream crossings and provides tons of ventilation on those hot days.
Bottom Line: Rough trails? These shoes can take 'em.
I absolutely love love love these trail runners. They kill it in any terrain I've put them up to and carried me through snow, ice, rock, mud, you name it (and usually all in one run). Super sturdy and great grip plus super comfy, no break-in required. The support they provide gave me a big boost in confidence on the more technical trails. I would definitely recommend these!
I frequently run Ultra marathons and I am on my 10th pair of these shoes, I will not run in anything else (but it looks like I will have to since these are being discontinued). :( I am so sad about this.
These shoes are amazing on all kinds of terrain. I run trails and races here on the east coast on very technical trails. They hold up to the everything and are extremely comfortable and durable! These shoes drain well and dry quicky and require zero break-in time. From 100 mile races to trail marathons, these are by far...my favorite shoes and they have carried me through some tough races without blisters or black toenails.
If it helps, I am a neutral runner and require cushioned running shoes (if i run on pavement). My road shoes are Asics Gel Nimbus and these shoes are perfect for me. Thank you Montrail! But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, DO NOT DISCONTINUE THESE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so tired of starring at her bald Nike Shox I had to get her some new kicks. She LOVES the Montrails and won't take them off. She runs 5-6 miles. Great arch support and they look good too. We'll see how they smell in a couple months :)
