Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's
Brand : MontrailItem : MON0019
The Montrail Hurricane XCR is a waterproof-breathable bootie made with GoreTex® XCR barrier and high-performance trail running features. Chosen training shoe of ultramarathon legend David Horton, it offers great protection from the elements and trail hazards. Montrail's patented stretch tongue construction creates a sock-like fit to avoid rubs. The flexible board last and supportive upper provide substantial arch and midfoot stability. The sawtooth lug pattern offers ample traction. Support over the long haul—even with heavy loads—is anchored in the medially-posted midsole. The forefoot and toe box are roomy for wider feet but your narrower heel is held securely (to prevent blisters) by the heel counter and snug upper.

Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's
So Far, So Good
I've been having a lot of trouble finding shoes lately that don't slip on my heel for longer runs or hikes, and I usually buy motion control running shoes. I can't say enough good about these Montrails. The first week I had them, I took them on a couple short hikes, then the next week on one 20-miler day hike. They held up incredibly-no blisters, no pain! The heel is very secure, the toe box is roomy enough that the shoe doesn't bind, and the medium flexibility in the sole is perfect. I usually wear trail runners for hiking, and run on trails with road shoes (because I like a more flexible shoe). I went running on a light and hilly trail yesterday just to try them out, and they were fantastic. Haven't had to test the Gore-Tex sleeve yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
3 pairs and counting...
I am getting ready to purchase my fourth pair of these awesome shoes. The traction is great; I can ease down the steepest boulder without fear. Enough support for lightweight backpacking, but enough flexibility for shorter hikes or runs. Gore-tex works great for hopping streams or running in the rain. And despite warnings that GTX doesn't breathe in hot conditions, I wear these shoes in the Phoenix, AZ heat without complaint. My only complaint so far is the expense...but they are well worth it.
Too Much Money
I work in a garden center and am always looking for shoes that are waterproof and hold up to being abused. These shoes were great for about 3 months and then they started falling apart around the clear hard plastic designs. I have had other Gore-Tex shoes for work that cost less and lasted longer. Other than they fell apart really fast these shoes were good. I definitely agree that they fit well and stay on you feet, but for the money they are not worth it!!
These montrails rock!
These shoes are great! When it was time to retire the Hurricane Ridge I got in 2004 after miles of trail running and day hikes, I didn't even consider shopping around for other brands/styles. I loved the old pairs I had and so I bought this newer model in Granite/Mango color. You don't have to wear them too long to break them in. It's very comfortable, offering ample amount of space for my toes even with my wide feet. I use it for trail running, day hikes and even light backpacking trips. It is very supportive, you barely feel the unevenness of the trail. It also does not skimp out on flexibility and you'll notice it on faster trail runs. It has good traction even on icy patches. Waterproofness is exceptional. I definitely recommend the Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR for those looking for an all around, all weather trail running shoes.
I love these things...
I bought my first pair about 2 1/2 years ago. I wore them every day, for everything. Great running shoes, probably the best I've worn. I thrashed the first pair (by normal standards) they still look and feel pretty good, but was itching for a bright new shiny pair. Maybe some improvements have been made, because second pair is holding up even better than the first. Waterproof, durable, excellent traction, and extremely comfortable for a slightly pronated stride like I have. I’m very impressed, they’re worth the money.
