Description of Montrail Hardrock '09 Trail Running Shoe - Men's: |
|
Montrail created the Men’s Hardrock '09 Trail Running Shoe to give you a lightweight, nimble feel on the roughest trails around. Trail Shield forefoot reinforcements protect from rocks and roots. A combination of synthetic hydrophobic leather and mesh helps Montrail make the uppers both ultra-durable and highly breathable for those hot summer days. You even get super-sticky Gryptonite rubber to keep you upright on the slickest terrain.
Bottom Line: Tough doesn’t mean heavy.

| Awesome shoes. Sticky enough for free-solo scrambles up to low 5th class (5.4-5.6) with 300'+ of exposed runout. It has moderately hard rubber (good longetivity), yet it also has good smearing ability - probably due to the shallow lugs that like to cling to undulations in the rock. It almost feels like cheating! Very protective shank for running/hiking on talus in alpine environments when bagging 14ers, yet it also has great trail sensitivity for stability. The shielding around the toes and sides is extremely effective when running/skiing down scree, where lesser shoes would leave you with shredded feet. Great shoe for the Utah desert, the Colorado Rockies, all around scrambling fun, and even lightweight backpacking. The construction is pretty bomber. On several tough scrambles - crack climbs and chimney squeezes - my canyoneering companion ripped open the sides on her Keens down to the sock, while the Hardrocks show no damage (only cosmetic wear). Love these shoes - I can trust them with my life on technical scrambles!
My only reservation is it's grip when wet. While on dry rock they feel like approach shoes, I don't trust them anywhere near as much on wet rock. Take real approach shoes or water shoes for technical scrambles on wet rock, or better yet, don't risk your life on those days and do something less exposed/technical.
While many complain about the changes between '08 and '09, the complaints seem to be focused around the change in fit. The earlier ones were excruciating for me to wear, but the '09 Hardrocks fit great! If the new ones fit your feet, get them - you won't regret it! |

| These shoes are great. I bought them as a replacement to some salomon xt wings (which the built in kevlar lace broke) and I couldn't be happier. I wear them for trail runs, day hikes, as well as just kickin it. They look great, the toe cap is super durable, and they fit great. |

| Sizing: I wear 10 in most other trail running shoes as well as street shoes. I typically try to stay true to my size in trail running shoes to avoid black toes of death but I sized down in these to a 9.5 and they have been great at avoiding jammed up toes. Compared to many other brands, the overall width may be wider but by no means would I call this wide fitting. The heel area keeps heels locked in place with a roomy toe box that allows just the right amount of wiggle room.I hear many others speak of the older model of the Hardrock and complain against this one. Well, i never tried that one but I have seen it and held it in my hands and I definitely think Montrail took a step forward with the Hardrock. i want to tell those people to quit crying because this shoe has upped my trail running game as it's posted construction doesn't contribute to any more pronation/ supination than one will just do anyway while running.Bottom line is they aren't just for running but make a great scrambler and light hiker. Perform well on wet terrain, maybe not the best "wet" shoe but they hold their own. I don't take mine on the street at all because I have separate street shoes but these do look good with mud on them. You cannot go wrong with the Hardrock. |
