Get Fit For 2011~Montrail Shoe Review

               

I was really excited to try out another pair of Montrail running shoes! Have I mentioned that Montrail is my favorite brand of trail running shoes. They fit my feet so well that I don’t even have to break them in! I wore the Mountain Masochist on a short 3 mile street run just to give them a test drive and they were wonderful! I haven’t had a running shoe that went up my ankle like a hiking boot, but these are so lightweight that I soon forgot about that! I found that these shoes were great for running on the street. My second time to wear them was for the Cold Turkey run we went to on Thanksgiving morning. My sweet hubby was going to put screws in the bottom of an older pair of street running shoes for me so I wouldn’t slip on the ice, but then he looked at the treat on the Mountain Masochist shoes and noticed that it had better tread than any of my other trail and street shoes. I wore them with confidence on the slippery course for the race that morning and felt very sure footed and never slipped once! I wore them again yesterday morning on a snowy dirt road and trail and my feet felt dry and comfortable and again no slipping!

If you like to cover different types of terrain in the winter I highly suggest the Montrail Mountain Masochist!
