My son and I just completed a week at Lenhok'sin - backpacking around Lake Merriweather at BSA's Goshen Scout reservation in SW Virginia. We decided to go with a trail shoe rather than hiking boots since we are verging on lite packs at 30 lbs and the summer heat was record-breaking. Upon recommendation from another scout leader, we both ordered the Sportiva Wildcats from Zappos. Both of our fits were tight so we ordered another two sizes each to ensure we had just the right fit with liners and light hiking socks. We returned the unused shoes without a problem and could not be happier with the performance during over 40 hours of hiking in one week. Next summer - Philmont in New Mexico with those Wildcats!

Most comfortable and cushioned trail shoe I have ever worn. I slightly under-pronate and need cushioning; most trail shoes that I have researched or worne lack cushion or are made for pronation control. Only downsides are mesh tears a little easy and strings are too long. The sole could stand to be a little more aggressive. Ordering my second pair now and always come back to Zappos for the customer service.

This is the best trail runner I have had. Nike's sole construction is terrible for rocks, dirt and mud. NB is slightly better but tricky on wet rocks and logs. This is the right idea...look at the bottom views! Plus the overlap on the tongue keeps out debris. Tuff toe guard too!

Great trail shoes. Working my way through my third pair. Work well on tech trails and don't fare too badly when you have to do the occasional run on the road. Only complaint is some fraying of the upper, particularly near the ankles.
