Great in dry trails, sandy trails, and rocky trails
Biggest foot measures about 25.3 cm long and 10 cm wide and got these in a 42 EU. I've been injured for the past few months and just got the chance to take these puppies on a power hike and a trail run. The 4mm lugs and the 12.5 mm stack height offers pretty good ground feel while protecting against some larger stones. I haven't encountered any rocks that would make me want the rock plate just yet. I've run on 25% gradient inclines and declines in these, hopped rock to rock, and scrambled some rocks, but have yet to slip once. They have great heel hold, but you need to tighten them just right otherwise you might get some Achilles heel rubbing.
Only a few minor issues noted:
These rubbed my Achilles a bit on some steep downhills, especially so because I like to crank the top lace slots. I think the issue will dissipate once these shoes are broken in a bit more.
The laces are super long, even with a "runner's knot."
Overall, this is a very great shoe and is the best closed toe trail runners with a < 15 mm stack height that I have in my arsenal. I feel agile, and secure in these, which allows me to have fun on the trail.

Great trail shoes
i’ve been wearing these in the woods on gravel and uneven terrain. The cushioning is great, especially in the heel as well as the wide toe box fits true to size.

Great for indoor artificial turf
Bought for my indoor ultimate frisbee league. I need a wide toe box, and these are great. Played one game with them so far with no issues. Tread perfect for indoor turf field.
