About the shoe
A cushioned trail option for long mountain days. Reviewers appreciated protection and hold, with weight and heel rubbing as caveats. Published stack figures disagree.

Manufacturer specifications
- Intended use
- Trail training, long mountain outings and ultradistances.
- Construction
- 100% Arnitel TPEE, Dyneema upper with knit collar, Vibram Megagrip Elite/Litebase and 5 mm lugs.
- Manufacturer specifications
- Manufacturer: 286 g in US M8.5 and 260 g in US W8. Its women’s ounce conversion is inconsistent; grams are retained as published.
- Measurement caveat
- Current brand figures: 36/30 mm and 6 mm drop, with inconsistent component totals. BITR lists 38/31 mm and 7 mm. Total stack and drop remain unresolved.
- Independent test: strength
- Meta Endurance reported sustained comfort and protection on a 70 km mountain outing; its grip testing was in dry conditions.
- Independent test: limitation
- Some BITR testers still had heel rubbing, and one saw early front-lug wear. The added cushioning also brings more weight than the 005.
