Leave your running shoes at home, and pick up a pair of Montrail Hardrock for the trails.

If you’re an avid trail runner, the Montrail Hardrock is your shoe. Sticky rubber soles provide secure traction and exceptional durability during your runs.

The Hardrock is for the ultra-runner looking for a trail shoe that is light, flexible and supportive. Can also be used for light day hikes.

Try it out for yourself, and see why it won Backpacker Magazine’s Best Run/Hike Crossover category.

Available in men’s and women’s sizes.

Price: $110 | BUY at REI.com

    I’m beginning to think a leather sole is all anyone really needs.

    I thought we were done with this type of lazy posting. “If you’re an avid trail runner, the Montrail Hardrock is your shoe. ” Um, first you need a shoe that fits properly. What kind of support does this shoe offer, how wide and deep is the toebox? What can you tell me about the last? Breathability? Do you provide options for people that don’t fit this particular shoe?

    And again with linking to REI? First thing to learn about buying shoes online, its zappos.com, endless.com or bust. These site provide free two day or overnight shipping and paid return shipping.

    And a big contradiction in your article seems to be your mention of sticky rubber and durability in one shoe. Care to elaborate? If you understood shoes you would know that the stickier the rubber the shorter it will last.

    Austin baby, have you actually used this shoe? A press release snippet just doen’t do well to inform consumers these days.
