I really like them, they are a lot lighter than my Saucony Xodus ISO 3, which to be honest I bought unseen from sportshoes.com.
If I'd have seen them I might not have gone for them as they are a brick.
But they have also started splitting across my toes. I've only done 244 miles in them. I'd expected them to last a little longer than this.

Back to the Nikes - yeah nice and light, very comfortable - probably down to a big squishy sole. It'll be interesting to see how long this feeling lasts.
They hold your foot well and have a really nice heal cup. So felt really supportive. No twisted ankles.
The grip was good too. It was pretty crappy out yesterday and they held their own well.
The grip isn't very deep, so similar to the Asics I had before. The Saucony had tractor tyres by comparison. Which probably accounted for most of the weight.
But they also held onto a lot of mud too, making them even heavier! Whereas the mud just fell away with these.

All in all I'm really liking them so far. But then I've only done 7.3 miles in them. Time will tell how well they last.

I had planned to get a new pair of Asics form Freeport, but they were completely sold out of ALL trail shoes, and didn't know when more were arriving.
