Equipped with a full rock plate, your feet are shielded from sharp hazards, allowing you to navigate rugged terrain with confidence. The lightweight, breathable, and durable one-piece upper, combined with the foot-shaped last, offers maximum comfort and performance.

Toimiva kenkä toimivalla pohjalla. Koko vaikuttaa pienemmältä kuin alkuperäisessä Maxxissa, eikä päällikangas herätä samalla tavalla luottamusta.

An amazing shoe! I used them for the NUTS Ylläs-Pallas 37km race, and they could easily have handled an even longer distance. I weigh over 100 kg, so they work well for heavier runners, too. The width is perfect for me, though the upper feels a bit too roomy—fortunately, the laces allow for a secure fit. The grip hasn't slipped once, and I've covered well over 100 km in them.

I’ve completed one hike of about 200 km in Sarek and another of around 150 km in Kebnekaise with these. The grip is good, and they dry quite quickly after river crossings. No issues at all. They do get pretty beat up when hiking through rocky terrain, though.

They are great to run in—lightweight with good cushioning. The grip on wet rocks is indeed excellent. Drainage (for swimrun) was highlighted as a weak point in earlier reviews, but I haven't had any real issues with it; in any case, water doesn't stay in the shoe for an annoyingly long time. I had considered adding extra drainage holes when I first bought them, but after testing them out, it turns out that isn't necessary. Very happy with the shoes!

An excellent shoe in every respect. The grip is truly incredible. It even works for light rock climbing—such as on via ferrata routes—instead of approach shoes! A cosmetic downside is that the upper practically attracts dirt and rubber scuff marks. It is probably worth treating them with a suitable protective spray if the shoe's appearance matters to you. The sizing is indeed on the generous side; I found a size 0.5 to 1 smaller than usual to be the right fit.

They arrived exactly one week in perfect condition. I ordered one size smaller than other brands, and they fit me perfectly. The shoe feels rather flat compared to my previous running shoes, but I imagine that's because they're more technical.

Fits my flat feet just right thanks to the wider last and is a very good shoe for different surfaces. The downside is that the laces tend to come loose easily, but if you take a little more time to tie them, that's not a problem either.
