Men's Tarkine Bandicoot: Light. Fast. Everywhere.

Exceptional shoe. I'm struggling to believe how cushioned/soft they are under foot, yet still super responsive. I can't wait to trial them out in the Grampians - as I seriously want them to be my race day shoe @ the GPT100. Tarkine - gotta love Aussie thought and design.

Light, Fast, Awesome

Awesome shoe. Light, fast and comfortable. Everything promised is delivered. They don't so much propel you as go with you when you want to change pace and the inclines feel a little bit easier than usual due to the light weight. Perfect for the fast trails where I live. Had two runs in them and the lugs are built for speed but I had no trouble on rocks, wet ground or clay. They shed mud so you aren't carrying any excess weight but I haven't tried them on anything super-technical. Be interested to see how they cope with ice and snow but hopefully as well as my Trail Devils (originals). I expect the Bandicoots will be the perfect option for any trails or races with hybrid conditions e.g. if you run a road to get to a trail. I'm looking forward to one of my regular runs to the summit of Gaanha-bula and back (21k total). The last mile to the summit is steep but tarred road so these are made for it. Really proud that these are Aussie and made by people that care about the places we run.

Great shoe, good upgrade on the grip and foam. Have been loving the trail devils over the last 5-6 years, these are a bit more comfortable on the road whilst still maintaining a solid trail shoe.
