They’re not wide perse, but there is a lot of volume in there and they’re wider than most race day shoes

I’m loving the color too

Size 9 US or uk?

@ actually I have 9 1/2 US.

You’re right, that’s my bad! I’m not sure how I got that wrong - my size 9 sky Paris is 6.3oz(179g)

Making it lighter than the Vaporfly 3 that weighs 6.5oz

Appreciate you spotting this

It’s so wild man! It’s out now but currently out of stock on the Saucony website (US). Let me know if you find stock anywhere

They have a pretty balanced midsole meaning they have medium cushioning and good responsiveness. If you need a super cushioned trail shoe, I'd start with these: Caldera 7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4qom3qEmc6Le7c , Cloudsurfer Trail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y53bZKeBd9lnjtk , or Nike Zegama 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJTMammkecugoMU

@trailandkale Thank you 😊

@DrReddyViv any time!

Thanks for tuning in!

That’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing - I agree they are pretty fantastic!

Awesome - glad that addition helped you out

Google or apple account for the app

That would be the Caldera 7! Also reviewed on the channel. And for the best shock absorber for road walking you need to check out the Glycerine Max - it’s fantastic: www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/brooks-glycerin-max-review/

Caldera 7. .....and for urban walking trail shoe go for new balance more v4 trail

I found them to be pretty stable due to the winged plate in them - here is more info on each of the best saucony running shoes: www.trailandkale.com/roundups/best-saucony-running-shoes/ - Have you check sportsshoes for the tempus 2?

It’s great for trail hiking but can also be worn on road if you like

They should be great for that! I think that’s the main benefit that the carbon and PEBAX will provide. Let me know how you get on.

@trailandkale sure will 👍

Hmm, I think the zegama 2 is a close equivalent but the Speedgoat 6 may be even closer and it’s available in wide! Here are my top trail picks right now: www.trailandkale.com/roundups/best-trail-running-shoes-buyers-guide/

Well congrats! That’s an effort for sure! lol. These Tevas are pretty awesome though and I’m pretty sure you would have had an even better experience running that course in them. No stones get stuck in these outsoles

@@trailandkale Yeah, they look great. I'll pick some up for next season. Thanks for a great review!

@stevebeschakis9775 thanks for watching! ✌🏼😊

Thanks for sharing! The new Nike ATC grip on the Peg Trail 5 is awesome

True!

nope nobody actually cares

It’s true to size (length and width) as that roominess is intentional for the shoe design. Also, make sure you tuck the laces into the elastic loop on the top of the shoe, that stops them flapping around. Here’s my roundup of the top trail running shoes right now: www.trailandkale.com/roundups/best-trail-running-shoes-buyers-guide/

Enjoy it!

Thank you, and welcome!

Yea they’d be good especially if you want a shoe for trail hikes too

Yes they’re very durable

Different Horses for different courses. They’re certainly not your traditional race day shoe but they’re definitely a racing shoe

Thank you! I’d recommend going with the same size you have in the adrenalines and glycerins as these are consistent with them

Wow you must have been very unlucky tearing these… also, when it comes to sand - that gets into most shoes, through the upper mesh and the opening around the collars. You should get some gaiters if you do lots of sand hiking and want to keep sand out of your shoes.

@@trailandkale I've got a couple tears now but its just where those holes in the upper are above the toe, the shoes are close to worn out now though so it's perfectly acceptable I think, I may even end up replacing them with another pair.

@@trailandkale I'm going to watch your zegama2 review now actually, I like to try different stuff, feels boring to buy the same things twice

I just got myself a second pair last week :) love them for daily wear

@@forboarders I would not recommend them for that as they are a bit “racy” feeling and wouldn’t want to be in them all day. I would probably recommend something more like the New Balance v14’s or if you want Super Comfort, the Brooks Glycerin Max’s as I wear those to jog in and wear at work where I am on my feet 10+ hours.

No they’re not the best as a lifestyle shoe, that heel counter will rip your heels up on a good day

I’m going to :) I’ll be trying them out in a selection of daily trainers to see how they affect responsiveness and speed ⚡️

Haha I know right

I dont have any experience with the Kayano line yet, so I can't comment there.

Bargain! Now’s the time to make the most of the Black Friday deals Popping up

@ yes sir 🙌🏾🤘🏾

I actually took advantage off Nike’s deals to get my son some socks and his first pair of baby trainers 😄

Thank you and thanks for sharing all the details-it’s super helpful! Based on what you’re looking for, both the Brooks Cascadia 17 and the Topo Pursuit 2 could be excellent options, and here’s how they compare: The Cascadia 17 is a solid choice if Brooks generally fit you well. They’re versatile trail runners with enough cushioning for long hikes and excellent stability for scrambles, thanks to their rock plate. The outsole uses TrailTack rubber, which grips really well on both wet and dry terrain-perfect for technical trails. The toe box isn’t super wide, but since you’ve found Brooks to work for you in the past, they might still feel comfortable. The Topo Pursuit 2, on the other hand, has that wider toe box you might appreciate for long hikes, plus Vibram Megagrip on the outsole, which is legendary for traction on slippery rocks and loose surfaces. They’re zero-drop, so the ride feels more natural and balanced, with plenty of cushioning to keep your feet happy all day (just be aware zero drop does take a bit of time to get used to if you're new to that). Both shoes handle traction very well, so it really comes down to what fits your feet best, ride style, and price. If Brooks widths are your sweet spot, I’d go for the Cascadia. If you want more room up front and a natural feel, the Topos might be a better match. Both shoe reviews can be found on my channel and Here's my roundup of best performing trail running shoes for reference: www.trailandkale.com/roundups/best-trail-running-shoes-buyers-guide/ Don't go for the cheap Cascadia 17 that will definitely come up too short as they have a true to size fit. Let me know if you have any more questions! -Alastair

The other differences are outlined in the review - for example each one uses different materials.

The outsole is not the best for slick wet pavement conditions but standard concrete and asphalt (non slick) I find them to be just as good as other super shoes in this class.

Thank you! Brooks are fantastic for trail shoes. Glad you found a nice way to get your SG5 nice and snug! ✌🏼

Hmm, probably the Ghost Max 2 but all of them have very durable uppers

Bloody hell you must be fit! 💪🏼 here are a few recommendations based on your helpful info (watch my reviews of each to learn more about them - I’m also going to link to my written reviews for each as the specs and such may be easier to quickly compare them with one another): ASICS Glideride Max (www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/asics-glideride-max-review/), Mount To Coast S1 (www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/mount-to-coast-s1-review/), Hoka Clifton 9 (www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/hoka-clifton-9-review/). Hope this helps point you in the right direction! -Alastair

Nimbus 26 or NB v13/14

These are a great everyday shoe, and because they’re a road to trail shoe you can hike trails in them too. Very versu

Versatile*

I bet a lot of people do… sadly it doesn’t quite make the cut. More info on that show here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_Lln2cma50oLs and my most up to date top picks for lightweight minimal trail racing shoes can be found here: www.trailandkale.com/roundups/best-trail-running-shoes-buyers-guide/ -A

Weight alone means nothing in a trail shoe

Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback! Hope you enjoy them! Don’t forget to check out the MTL, long sky 2 matryx too if you’re looking at these - they’re best in this class of trail shoe right now: my blog review of it: www.trailandkale.com/shoe-reviews/merrell-mtl-long-sky-2-matryx-review/ and here’s my video review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYvdnZWbadSanZIsi=xzds2nhMata2dtcS -Alastair

@@trailandkale Thank you so much. I have set an alert at Merrell‘s site as these are sold out atm. Your YT review about them is awesome too. I am sold. :-) So glad that I‘ve found your channel. Amazing content. ❤️

@SoManyMiles ah thank you! :) can’t wait to share all the new content coming soon

There are, you can choose from various types of

It's certainly in the same class (all mountain trail shoes) as the SG6 - I haven't tried the peregrine yet though. The Cascadia 18 and Speedgoat 6 are both excellent trail shoes, but they have some key differences: Cascadia 18 is durable and stable with a balanced ride, great for technical terrain and versatile across various trail conditions. The TrailTack rubber outsole provides excellent traction, and it’s slightly heavier but built to last. Speedgoat 6 has slightly softer cushioning with a lighter feel, using Vibram Megagrip for superior grip on varied surfaces. It’s ideal for longer runs or hikers who prioritize softer comfort. If you need stability and durability, go for the Cascadia. For a cushioned, lightweight ride, the Speedgoat is hard to beat.
