MR790 Lightweight Trail Shoe October 12, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The MR790 is a very lightweight trail running shoe, comparable in weight to a street racing flat. For climbing, its light weight makes it a joy. The compromise, of course, is that it isn't super supportive and the midsole is fairly thin. I replaced the thin, flimsy insoles with a set of Superfeet which provide a bit more support and protection, but don't add a lot of weight. The tread on the bottom of the sole is not super aggressive, so you won't be getting a huge amount of traction. Using careful footwork on technical downhills is advised. I used these shoes to pace an Angeles Crest 100 runner through the last 25 miles from Chantry Flat to the finish and was pretty satisfied. No blisters or aching feet at the end. - CW Journey
