Brooks - Catamount 2

I wear Glys and wear trail runners, if you just like brooks try the catamount 2s or 3s, great beginner trail shoes. If you are looking outside the brand I really like the Nike zegama 2s, I plan to wear those on my next ultra

I checked Amazon and found Catamount 3s for sale. I'd get another pair or two if they are your favorites. I'm on my second pair of Catamount 2s - great shoes.

Interesting. I've not noticed any issues but its true that the fabric, glue and rubber are a year or two older than new shoes.

I had the catamount 2. Great for flat stuff, very snappy. Did a VK in them though and the heel slippage was so bad I thought I was gonna start bleeding from the chafe

I love the Brooks Catamount 2. I’m trying the Catamount 3 right now but will probably end up ordering a few pair of the 2’s to use until they’re nla.

I have Brooks Catamount (Both 2 & 3) and I like them a lot. They loose some spring/cushion after a few hundred miles but they still look new. I don’t know that it’s realistic to expect the foam to stay bouncy for five hundred hard miles.

OG Catamount was an awesome shoe

I had to heel lock them too. I forgot about that

Incredible, under the radar shoe with one huge flaw/draw back. The seem, where the two piece upper meets, starts to fray/pull apart after a while. Granted this might be a result of lots of technical miles, but other shoes of mine, like the comparable Catamount 2/3, have zero upper issues during their life. There was a mention at TRE that the Infinite will stay in stock globally, but not in the US (yet to see restocking here). People here like the big boy shoes with the fat cush. This, and the fact that TNF has jacked up the pricing of all their shoes by 15% here in the US. The Enduris 4 may be worth it at $180, but the Infinite 3 at $180? Hell no. Also, the Sky 2 at $230 and the Pro at $290??!!. Fuck off.

I used Catamounts for my 50 miler last weekend in the San Juans and they’re great, but on their last life

You might have luck with Brooks Catamount or Cascadias! They both are fairly narrow and have a protective rock plate. I also love Topo Mtn Racers- they have a wider toe box but are narrower everywhere else, and they have vibram soles with great traction. As a general heads up, I have narrow feet too and swear by heel lock lacing- it’s been a game changer and prevents a lot of heel slipping!

Go with the catamounts. Been doing so for 2.5 years. Get you a girl that can do both

I have a broad forefoot and a narrow heel. Brooks has been good to me as well as La Sportiva. Prodigo Pros and Caldera 8 is what I am working with now. For faster nimbler shoe I have been using the Catamount. Not sure about this latest version, haven't tried it.
