Description of Montrail Highlander Trail Running Shoes - Women's:
Lace up the Women's Montrail Highlander for a close-fitting trail runner that will keep your feet super comfy all day long. the Highlander's sculpted fit will give you the edge-to-edge control you need on those tight aspen singletrack runs, and the rounded heel will help you maintain a natural gait. The Highlander's Gryptonite outsoles are super sticky to keep your traction on-point, and the IntegraFit lasts, and sculpted arch midsoles will support your feet through all your rigorous trail running demands.
Bottom Line: The Montrail Highlander Trail Runner is a lightweight trail machine
First off, I have the worst feet and they are way too big for my body. I usually feel like I am running with a pair of flippers instead of feet. I have gone through about eight pairs of new shoes in the last two months trying to find the right fit and performance.
The second I put these Montrail's on.. I attained nirvana. The support around the heel and arch is completely secure. The toe box is very roomy, which I have found to be a problem with some other Montrail shoes. The traction is fantastic. These shoes grip your feet and grip the trail.
I have been wearing Montrail trail shoes for over 10 years and the Highlander is the perfect shoe for me. I ran the very tough Squaw Peak 50 mile run in them yesterday and had no issues with the shoes.
These shoes look so freakin weird with the different colored sides, but I love em. Everyone always comments on their unique appearance. On top of that, they have great traction and support. They are narrower than most shoes, so I wouldn't recommend them if you have wide feet.
