Dynafit Alpine Pro 2 Trail Running Shoe - Women's Jadelite/Black Out, 7.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put the Alpine Pro 2 Trail Running Shoe through everything from wet root systems to loose rocky descents, and it held its own on all of it. The Vibram Megagrip outsole inspires real confidence on technical ground, and the SPEEDLITE midsole cushioning is substantial enough that my legs still felt fresh late in longer efforts.""Some trails reward the prepared. The Alpine Pro 2 Trail Running Shoe is what prepared looks like on your feet. Dynafit built this mid-cut trail runner around the SPEEDLITE midsole, a high-cushioning platform that absorbs shock on technical descents and hard landings without sacrificing the ground feel that keeps you connected to what is happening underfoot. A PEBAX stability plate runs through the construction to keep your stride controlled and your footing confident, no matter how technical the trail gets. The Vibram Megagrip outsole with 4mm lugs bites into soft and hard terrain alike, delivering the kind of traction that makes wet roots and loose rock feel manageable rather than threatening. A quick lace system dials in a precise, custom fit and keeps the foot locked in through technical sections, while the stretch lace cover stows everything cleanly when you need it out of the way. The integrated rockshield adds a final layer of underfoot protection that quietly absorbs what the trail throws at you so your focus can stay on the run. At 240g, this is a shoe built to move fast without leaving your feet behind."
