This week on Trail Talk, Aaron and Steve Shanahan get into The North Face Offtrail Ultra: 264g, 6mm drop, 29/23mm stack, 5mm lugs and no plate, why a shoe with Ultra in the name might not be an ultra shoe at all, sizing down and how the gaiter actually works, the dual density DREAMBOUND midsole and where the power really comes from, Surface Ctrl grip on dry rock and the wet question neither of us can answer yet, 260km and 12,000m of vert between them with almost no wear to show for it, how it stacks up against the Tecton X3, the NNormal Kjerag, the Brut and the Tomir, the serrated laces and the lace bite, £145 and whether that makes it the best value shoe in the category, and full scores out of 5 from both of them.
Steve Shanahan is a fell and trail runner from North Wales and a member of the Trail Talk community. He raced the Offtrail Ultra out of the box and won in them.
