Not a lot of cushion in this shoe so really depends if that is something you like or not.

Traction is definitely a tradeoff with these, but the lack of prominent lugs also makes them usable on roads, which is good for me since winter means a lot of mixed surface running here in NH.

NB has a winner in the MT10, do not quite know exactly what will be coming in as a replacement. When I noticed the liquidation sale on 
http://www.runningwarehouse.co… panicked and bought another pair, just in case the replacement does not quite measure up as well. 

I similar looking/feeling shoe with zero drop would be great; my 2cents.

I tried a 20km non-technical trail in my VFF KSOs, and call me soft, but I hated it, not enjoying myself, and hobbling towards the end. (The trail was a mountain bike track in height of summer here – compact/hard dirt, with lots of sharp basalt rocks).
So I guess what I’m wondering is whether these (or MT10s) will provide significantly more protection than my KSOs? (I have the basic flat non-trail ones).
I don’t mind feeling the trail, but don’t want to be crippled by it.
Cheers, and thanks for such a great repository of info!

You could stay even dryer in other shoes but these also breath quite well. I’ll try to save them just for winter conditions so that they last me a little longer.

I would have to agree with Pete about the lack of a rock plate and bruised metatarsals. On the trails you are describing I think you’ll find the MT or MO10s to be unforgiving if you contact rocks, roots or anything else that can push up through the shoe. I’ve run numerous 20+ miles on varied trail and had tenderness in the ball of the foot to say the least. Try the MT110s if you want something ‘similar’ but with some forefoot protection from NB.
I also think the soft shell material does allow for more volume overall. I have the MT and MO in the same size and the MOs are noticeably more generous which allows nicely for a warm sock for running in the cold and snow which is helpful up here in Canada ;)

Thats good to know; I like running in them; with the laces off, going thru A/P is a breeze as well. It is also an eye catcher.

any idea when the MT00’s hit the shelves? Thanks.

You’ll be happy to know that NB plans on keeping the MT10s around through next year alongside the MT00 since it has done so well. I was just as panicked but have a family member who works for NB who let me know they won’t be going anywhere yet, just new colors.

They will protect better than the KSO, but are no comparison to a shoe with a rock plate. I would not recommend them if your trails have lots of rocks, for as Neil notes you’ll feel them and can wind up with stone bruising.
