Breezer Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I used kanadias for many km, but my little toe chew through the side of each pair. Feet guy said my feet are to wide and I must use asics. Worst shoes. Went through 2 pair in six months. One day the guy at my local sport shop introduced me to Mizuno. They are the best trail shoes I ever used. I have 3 pairs of the wave ascent 8 at the moment. The oldest pair have done about 800km and still look like new shoes Edited July 16, 2015 by Breezer

I have 3 pairs of the wave ascent 8 at the moment. The oldest pair have done about 800km and still look like new shoes I've never given Mizuno a thought - mostly because I don't see them in a lot of shops. I think Sportmans Warehouse stock them but buying shoes from them is like buying a bike from...well Sportmans Warehouse. I never had problems with my Asics, except for the bit where the running pain became too much due to mileage wear - and that was just before the 700km mark. That said, they were entry level shoes. I've tried other models instore and they all fit well - actually the best fitting shoes I've tried. But in terms of terrain, purpose, weight, durability, gait, drop, fit and looks (yes I know) - Salomons have the best to offer for me... till I find something better. Edited July 16, 2015 by Koei

Koei, is that the Sense Pro? I had a pair (blue) in my hands the other day and looks like a kick-azz shoe. Would love some feedback! The other thing I'm considering is the Peregrine, but the tread is about as aggressive as the Speedcross...
Pieter1 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I also use the trailfreak when it's hot and the Neotrail when it's cold or wet. Vivobarefoot make some awesome shoes. Pah Bear 1

The other thing I'm considering is the Peregrine, but the tread is about as aggressive as the Speedcross... Sense Pro yes I'll give some proper feedback after the the Cape Winter Trail Series. I only got some 5 km of trail in these shoes before the dark and rain came. First impression was pretty good. In short:Light and fast (ideal for racing / training)Tread perfect for SA - hard packed and rocky surfaces. The Speedcross - although very popular in SA - is more meant towards wetter terrain.6mm H2T dropIn true Salomon fashion, it has some lekker cushioning, even for a light-ish, minimalist-ish shoeMy only neg is that they are stiff. I compared them to my brother's Kinvaras and Peregrines - both have a lot more flexibility. Even my burly Salomon Ultra X's have more flexibility. But I guess hope they'll break in a bit over time. If you start to get more serious with trail running I'd definitely recommend these (or the Sense Mantra).
SeaBee Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Vivobarefoot Freak! Klaargepraat!Hey, daar's maar min kilo's op daai vivo's van jou - hoe kan jy al klaar gepraat wees? Of is jy moeg?! PS - but those trailfreaks of dee does seem like an awesome shoe as well... Edited July 17, 2015 by SeaBee
SeaBee Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Justr bit the bullit and ordered my TrailFreaks as well. Talk about giving the forefoot some attention! At least the medics will be able to spot the shoes! Camouflage is not quite the word to describe the colour... Pieter1 1

Almost half the shoes I own from casual to running are now vivo... SeaBee and dee_biker 2
