After looking extensively for a new Trail Running Shoe I came across the Dynafit Pantera GTX. I purchased these without being able to try them on and I am so happy I did! I've used them a number of times in various conditions. They fit me like a dream; small heel cup, not wide in the front foot area; super stable heel base, great cushioning, fabulous lacing system (the tongue stays where it should) that also works as a custom fit around the foot. These shoes were fantastic straight out of the box and on both road and trail. On the trail they feel like a dream, so spongey! This morning I took them out in the rain, running through puddles and muck and my feet stayed dry the entire time thanks to the Gore-tex membrane. It has been quite warm out a few times and my feet have been able to breathe nicely and not overheat. Well done Gore-tex and Dynafit!
