My favorite trail running shoes
Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction
Best Uses: Mixed Terrain, Rocky/Unstable Terrain

The toe box has plenty of room to let my feet swell, so they were as comfortable on mile 47 as they were on the first mile (although I will admit to falling asleep intermittently and not really remembering too much of the last mile or so).
