   Purchased 4 weeks before a 10 hour adventure race. Wore them around town to break them in and they seemed comfy.But when used on the terrain they were intended they failed miserably. These trail running shoes have no business at all being off road. The course i was on was a mix of dirt, bigger rocks and fist size rocks plus roots. In other words a normal mountain trail. The simple summary, flimsy. I felt every pebble, rock and twig through the sole and was absorbed by my sore feet. By the end of the run section my feet were really in pain from the impacts. This has never happened to me with any trail running shoes previous. These may be good for running on grass but have no business at all in ANY trail situation. To add insult to injury “both” the front rubber bumpers peeled down. I contacted New Balance directly and added pics to show them how the toes peeled but have not heard word one from them. Warning….buy something else as the 811 trail runners are junk

Got something to say?
