Montrail Fairhaven Running Shoe - Women's

bought my second pair
January 31, 2012

These shoes fit beautifully, true to size (I normally wear a 7.5 and these are perfect). In general, running shoes either cause me to have shin splints, or they don't, and these thankfully don't. I run 4-5 miles with the occasional 7 mile run thrown in, on roads and trails, and these have served me well on hard top as well as dirt. I have a neutral gait, relatively flat feet and low arches, and prefer shoes that aren't "overbuilt" on the sides, wide bases, etc., but with a decent amount of cushioning for road runs, and these fit the bill. They are form fitting but not too short, so no sloshing around in them and no chafing. The cushioning seems pretty durable as well. I like to have two pairs of running shoes on hand and switch them out, and a different shoe I bought to switch out with these, flattened out much sooner (resulting in the start of the dreaded shin pain) and have been thrown away. Thinking about buying my third pair!

Great walking shoes

I usually buy New Balance. But this time, I thought I try this shoes for my daily walking since it was on sale. I am glad I did. It has good cushion for my tired fit after 4 miles walk. It seems well made. I have to see after 6 months later if holds up as well. I am 136 lbs and 5'4". My shoe size is 7.5 M. It seems little bit wide compare to New Balance.

very comfortable

These shoes are light weight and have lots cushion. I have run in them twice and they are great! I am 5'5' 127 lbs, so not small and these have given me good support so far. I like it when I can put on my shoes and forget they are on, and these are perfect. One small thing, I wish the cushion were just the tiniest bit firmer...but overall I am very pleased. Would recommend for someone with a neutral gait and in need of a hybrid tail/pavement running shoe.
