tons of support and in a comfy package.

New Balance RX Terrain

'THE PERFECT SHOE FOR WHEN IT GETS REALLY GROTTY OUT THERE'

Strengths:
lightweight and tons of grip in the mud.

Weaknesses:
don't find they last all that long, not too comfy when on road sections of courses but guess thats not what they are made for.

Overall:
Excellent shoe will but another pair when these die.
