New Balance MT10 - Black

These rounded lugs feel surprisingly grippy on wet pavement, which was my main worry. The flat woven laces stay tied without constant re-tightening, a huge plus for my daily runs.

The suede overlays give them a premium feel, and the Vibram outsole has held up perfectly on rocky trails. Wore them straight out of the box for a 6-mile hike; zero break-in needed.

The rounded lugs on these give great grip on loose trails, and the mesh upper keeps my feet from overheating during a hike. They fit snug right out of the box—true to size for me.
