X-talons are among the very best trail and terrain running shoes I have seen. Wearing them is like wearing fast, grippy moccasins. They have excellent traction under a wide range of conditions, and are my trail running and orienteering shoe of choice. They tend to be narrow and are definitively minimalist shoes - small heel drop, negligible ankle support.
