hope all is well.

In reply to Mike.

It is definitely much more cushioned than any of those listed above. The Skechers Go Trail: http://www.runningwarehouse.com/Skechers_GOtrail_Mens_Shoes_Charcoal_Mint/descpage-SKGTM.html is much more comparable and although I didn’t review it for this round-up, it would be near the top of those listed. -David

David, you said good things about the Skechers Go Trail Ultra 3 in an earlier post. Where would you put that shoe in comparison to these that you have reviewed in this article? Thanks.

In reply to feelthhis.

I really didn’t. Both the Montrails and Salming are in the middle of the road width wise and also run a bit longer than Saucony. Additionally, where the taper is located and how straight the last is will affect how it feels in this regard too. Saucony uses straighter lasts than many other brands (so does Hoka)…which makes the taper more intrusive.

Hope that helps. -David

Didn’t you have any issues with fit (forefoot) with these shoes?

In the Protective review you point out how Xodus is tapered, but many of this Light list (especially Montrail) looks very tapered in the pictures. Salming is other brand that you gave good reviews, but that looks very tapared in the pictures too.
