Just a heads up. I know a lot of folks couldn't make these work because they were too narrow. This is a great shoe. I've put 1000+ miles 100% off trail on two pairs with barely any wear to the main upper fabric. The studs on the tread wear down but the rubber is good enough that they still have good traction unless maybe you're descending a steep wet grassy slope. Apparently the new ones also have a bit stiffer, more protective midsole material, which should be welcome on long days on rocky terrain. It's still an extremely flexible shoe (I'd say more flexible than any of the trailrocs, for comparison). They do seem to run slightly small; I had read the Precision fit are running a bit smaller than the old ones so I ordered up on those but not the Standard fit. Ended up having to place an additional order a half size up on the Standards as well.
(Precision sz 13, Standard 12.5, old 12.5)
