These are just something different and best in the market for this high volume trail hiker

2nd pair. Have tried them all, e.g. Adidas Terrex, Brooks Caldera, Hoka, and Altra. These are the most comfortable out of the box, with no break in required. I hike 3-5 miles daily and on some pretty rocky trails with some ups and downs. These perform best of any I've tried. Rock plate sure helps too. I may try a pair just for daily running around and walking too. And, they look great.
