I'm accustomed to running technical
I'm accustomed to running technical trails (mud, rocks, roots, vert. . . ) but recently did some mountain running in Norway which takes "technical" to a whole new level. We bouldered in the sleet and rain on steep terrain for days. The tread on these shoes is INCREDIBLE; everything was wet and slippery (for others!) but for me, not a problem. I felt like a mountain goat. Zero foot problems over 25 hours of technical trail and constantly wet feet from 30-degree mud bogs and stress from miles of steep descents on rocks and snow. Thank you, I love my High Countrys!
