Ruggedness. The Merrell Nova 2 after a couple races. The tread isn\u0026#39;t showing any signs of deteriorating quickly. The Nova 2s have a rock plate, which provides good protection for most rocks on the trail. Hitting some sharp rocks hard in the mid to back foot still hurt some on my second half marathon, but it wasn\u0026#39;t very noticeable and didn\u0026#39;t cause any problems. Basically, these should work well for most trails, but might not be the best if you are running anywhere supper rocky (where you might want to be using a more specialized shoe anyways). I haven\u0026#39;t put in so many miles that I can speak to the long term durability, but after 30ish miles I don\u0026#39;t see any signs of premature wear out issues. The tread is holding up well, no signs of any parts of the tread tearing off. For the grip, I haven\u0026#39;t had any issues with slipping and sliding during my runs. I haven\u0026#39;t had any wet runs in them yet, so I can\u0026#39;t speak to the how well they perform on wet trails, but I haven\u0026#39;t had any experiences that would give me a concern. Summary.

They took me most of the way up the Grand Teton and they\u0026#39;ve always been comfortable. But of late, as I\u0026#39;ve hiked around Yellowstone Park, they\u0026#39;ve felt a little heavy, and I look forward to taking them off at the end of the day. So I found a lighter hiking shoe: the Merrell Nova 2 Gore-Tex. It features the same sure-footed Vibram sole as my old shoe, plus an Invisible Fit Gore-Tex membrane and air-cushion heel. Right off the bat, the lightness made me feel like I\u0026#39;d been released from gravity. The shoes weigh just 24 ounces for the pair, which is 14 ounces less to pick up per step. At 5,000 steps, that\u0026#39;s 4,375 fewer pounds per hike—a lot of weight to remove from my quads and knees. Now, instead of plodding along, I float like a butterfly. $120; merrell.com. Footwear.
