I was very reluctant to try a Gore-Tex shoe, but I wanted a warm shoe to run long distances on snow/ice conditions. Once I received the shoe, I took them straight to the Columbia Gorge and did such a run. The Hurricanes performed very well for being straight out of the box and running up very steep, snowy, and icy conditions for a long period of time. I received some small, yet expected, blisters. Other than that, these shoes are exactly what I was looking for. They have excellent traction, support, rigidity, and allowed me to stand around for several minutes without letting my feet freeze.

I simply wanted a cold weather trail running shoe. Being a fan of other Montrail trail shoes, I tried the Hurricane. My first run with them consisted of a long, technical, and icy run in the Columbia Gorge. They performed very well, though I received some minor blisters...to be expected. My feet stayed very warm, dry, and the shoes had great traction on the long icy sections. I was more than pleased with the shoes. I am excited to use these shoes during the rest of the winter, though I know they will be way too warm for other seasons.
