In the past, I’ve relied on INOV-8 trail runners as my footwear for hiking. I’ve loved them and they have served me well. INOV-8’s new trail runners are not fitting me as well as they have in the past so I’m looking for another company.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time researching and trying on various shoes and my research keeps bringing back to the Norda (001A and 002). The 002 seems like the natural choice because it has a similar stack to INOV-8 models I used. When I got in contact with Norda they recommended the 001A. There is no retailer within driving distance that carries their shoes so I can’t see, feel, and try on these shoes.
Does anyone have experience with either of these two Norda models you can share? Any thoughts, advice, or direction would be appreciated.
