Tips

For optimal performance on ultra distances, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking socks and consider a gait analysis to confirm neutral support. Rotate with a second pair on multi-day events to allow foam recovery. The Quicklace system can be fine-tuned for a locked-in feel without pressure points, and the Matryx upper sheds debris easily—just rinse after muddy runs.
