I had the awesome experience of running a marathon a few years back with Scott Jurek, the ultrarunning legend, as the pacer of the group. I'd already read "Born to Run" (which didn't phase me)and had a pretty high mileage marathon ramp up so having such a neat (and extremely nice) ultrarunner to chit chat with for 26.2 miles put me over the edge and made me want to try out trail ultras. Only...I didn't know any trail ultrarunners. I did have a bit of experience ordering running shoes online so I picked a pair that looked like what I needed and that weren't to pricey. A month and a half later, in my Masochists, I ran my first 50 mile on a course that was extremely technical in spots, with straight up hikes and thigh high water crossings. Though I may not have been as prepared as I thought I was, I finished in a great time and with blister-free feet. This was though I didn't even change socks, much less shoes, during the race. The area of my arch just behind the ball of my feet was extremely sore, though, which I thought was the shoes' fault.So, ramping up for my next race, a 100 miler no less, I bought a pair of Salomons that were more supportive. I took them out on a 30 mile training run and vowed to never wear them again. I realized then that the Masochists excel in draining water. The Salomons I was wearing retained so much water, it was unreal. So I bought another pair of Masochists and ran my 100. My feet were still extremely sore but again, I think it was more of my relative lack of preparation.A year later...I tried the Brooks Cascadia 6 since it was being closed out. While extremely cushy, the toebox (when ordering my normal size) was too narrow and I ended up losing a toenail after my first run in them. Back to the Masochists as I ran my 2nd 100. I'd also put much more mileage in this time, and afterward I did not have near the soreness in my feet I'd had at previous ultras. I WOULD caution though, if you are a mid to forefoot striker (as I am), you may really start to feel the pounding toward the late miles of a 100 mile race. But at that point, everything hurts anyway, so your feet are just one more addition to a chorus of pain, lol.But I have simply not found anything better. To sum it up:very fast draining, cushy but flexable (while still providing stability for overpronators). They also have a very grippy outsole that's worked well for me in rocks and mud. I have 3 pairs but only race in one of them right now. I've got about 400 miles of trail ultras on them and once washed off, they look and feel brand new.

I just got these: every other pair of shoes I own is size 7.5 and these came 7.5 and feel very small: too narrow and too confining across my great toe and the top of my feet.Going back.they look well built but think about a size up!

Very good running shoes, just order it half or 1 size bigger than your actual size, other that that the shoes are really great
