It’s time for another trail running shoe review.
Meet Keith.
See Keith at at 11,722 feet.
Meet Keith’s shoes that got him to the top.
Keith’s shoes of choice, Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe.
He likes Montrail shoes and here’s why: “since purchasing my Montrails in July I’ve run the Bair Gutsman trail race, numerous trail training runs, and a 6-mile off-road section of the Red Rock Relay in them. This past weekend he had the opportunity to pace a friend over the final 25 miles of the Wasatch 100-mile Race in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range from Layton to the Homestead Resort.”
Here are some specifics from Kieth about his Montrails:
- Thick and stiff outsole protects my foot against rocks
- Gusseted tongue helps keep dirt and debris out
- An outrigger feature on the outside of the sole helps prevent ankle rolling on uneven trails
- Light weight means I get all the protective features with minimal fatigue
Thanks Keith and happy running!
Where did you find these shoes?! I wore these shoes for almost 15 years till they were discontinued this year. Do you know something we don’t know?
Dave, thanks for your comment. These shoes were discontinued, my friend picked them up on clearance at a local shoe store. He was stoked and wanted me to share. I don’t know why so many shoe manufacturers stop making great shoes.
Thanks again for your comment.
