The contoured fit will really suit certain foot shapes – narrow at the heel and broad at the toe. However, having only five eyelets makes it hard to lace them up securely, which affects stability on the hill. Quite heavy, with a hard rubber sole that doesn’t provide much shock absorption on rocky ground. A very flexible toe and midsole makes them best-suited to easy, low-level terrain.
