Comments about La Sportiva Exum Ridge Trail Running Shoe - Men's:

I've done 40-mile days in these shoes and speed Flatiron scrambles, as well. I've climbed 5.8 and run many miles in them. These shoes offer a unique combination of great climbing ability with the cushioning and stability for trail running. I use them for long, alpine days where the climbing is moderate and therefore I only need to take one pair of shoes and I can go fast and light. The rubber wears out, of course, so I only use them when I will need the friction qualities of the shoes - at least 4th-class terrain. Also, they suck on grass, though that is rarely encountered in my adventures (but when it is, be careful, as these are slippery there). Also, the cushion seems to break down faster than a pure running shoe. But if they fit your foot and you are an alpinist/scrambler/rock climber, then you need these shoes. I get a new pair every year so that the cushion is nice, but you can re-sole them as well.

Great performance, mediocre durability
By deathrattleVerified Reviewer from Boulder, CO on 7/30/2006
Best Uses:
Easy Class 5 Rock, Scrambling, Trail running

Comments about La Sportiva Exum Ridge Trail Running Shoe - Men's:

I speed-solo various Flatirons in these shoes several times per week. Most Flatiron climbing is low angle 5.0-5.6, and these shoes are excellent on that type of terrain. The shoes are light enough for running fast on trails but adequately supportive as well. The FriXion rubber is very sticky, but the tread on the soles seems to wear out very quickly (I imagine there is a necessary tradeoff between stickiness and durability, though). If you're looking to go light and fast on semi-technical terrain or on a combo of easy rock and trails, then these shoes are ideal. If you want something beefy and durable, look elsewhere.
