Performing well so far... - Mammut MTR 201 Pro Low Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Had been looking for a new trail shoe to try. Specs and look of this shoe attracted me. Campsaver had DEEP discount, I got 1 day shipping. Campsaver delivered as promised. Replaced insoles with blue superfeet. I don't understand the lace powerlock system yet, so I removed powerlock toggles and tied normally. Laces stayed tied entire run/hike. Though shoes didn't feel secured to my feet upon lacing up, during a 3 mile run/hike in wet, muddy trail conditions, I never thought the shoes were about to fling off, nor did I experience my feet slipping inside the shoe during run/hike. Ran/walked thru puddles, with short/thin running gaiters on, shoes drained great. Feet didn't get uncomfortably warm, even though I was running in smartwool hike ultralight crews. Did great griping the wet tree bark of a log I used to cross over a river. Needed a walking stick to hike up about a 40 degree incline mud slope for roughly 150'. Cannot comment on their mud-shedding abilities yet since hike ended after descent. Performing well so far...
