Higher State Soil Shaker Trail Running Shoes Perfect for fell and mountain running, the Soil Shaker with an 8mm drop, rugged outsole and mesh upper will tear through the mud with ease while offering maximum cushioning and ventilation. Closed Mesh Upper Constructed with a closed mesh upper, the Soil Shaker will provide maximum durability against sharp debris, while still ensuring much-needed ventilation to keep your feet feeling cool and comfortable during trail runs. The traditional lace-up closure and gusseted tongue pair up to prevent loose debris from entering the shoe, ensuring ultimate comfort by eliminating any distractions. A reinforced toe bumper defends feet against loose rocks and jagged ground, plus the reinforced heel design is built for optimal support while descending and contouring, enabling a faster run with greater confidence. A padded tongue and heel complete the upper, adding soft support and reducing the risk of rubbing and blisters, because we know how those can ruin your day. Moulded EVA Midsole The moulded EVA footbed offers extra cushioning as well as anatomical support, fitting the shape and size of your foot to ensure ultimate comfort. Additionally, the moulded EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning to ensure a smooth ride, especially on difficult or unpredictable terrain. Having ample cushioning will ensure a more enjoyable, comfortable run as you can maximise both focus and performance. Soil Shaker Outsole Rigorously tested in all conditions, the Soil Shaker's outsole is designed with a perfect blend of rubber compound to deliver supreme grip on a variety of terrains, from deep mud to wet rock, while still providing excellent durability. A flex groove adorns the forefoot to encourage natural flexion during the toe-off phase of the gait cycle. The grippy rubber outsole is designed with ultra-aggressive 8mm multi-directional lugs to give you supreme traction during extreme conditions. Shoe Review The Higher State Soil Shak

Outstanding value. I love them.
Fan bloomin tastic. I bought these as an emergency backing as the coast path had got really muddy, there were EXCELLENT, and for £30!!.....£30!! Seriously, these are brilliant. I use them regularly on gnarly, technical trails, sandy coast paths, a little road if needed and they are super grippy and comfortable in all situations. I would certainly trust them on long races. Add a memory foam insole and you're away. I did a multi terrain coast path half in them and they held up great. Gone from cheap temporary back up to full time gnarly path munchers!! Would definitely buy again.

Good grip in the mud
+ ---> Grip, price, robust.- ---> Slightly wide, Not 'springy' so a bit of effort on the hard ground.I think the - comments can be fixed using insoles, but the shoe may become to shallow.I use these when the hills are wet and for that they are great.

Better than much more expensive shoes
I use these for field and woodland trails in winter - very muddy, wet leaves, ice, snow, slush, you name it these can handle it - and you stay upright. Even grip better on icy roads - increased pressure on widely spaced treads I guess. Very comfortable (I have wide feet), well padded, good support to arch and let water in so slowly feet stay warm. Overall the best trail shoes I have ever bought - and a fraction of the cost of the big names, which shows how much they must be ripping us off :-)

Useful for swamp running only
Decent quality but the grips on the bottom are about 2 centimetres tall so you literally can't use them on any surface other than a swamp. Company refunded me without issue and paid for the postage to send back though, so at least they're decent guys.

great shoe-
very competitively priced trail shoe that performs as well as the more expensive brands. comfortable out of the box - great traction on most surfaces-too soon to comment on durability -- but appearances suggest a robust performer.

worst quality ever,
worst quality ever, even for the price. Aditionally I have never in 10 years experiecend a customer support on this level..... Its bad beyond any imagination. I can only try to warn other customers.

Decent shoes for grass running
These shoes were comfortable from the first wear and seem to be pretty good! However the reason I only have 3 stars is because on wet concrete, rocks or tree roots these are dangerously slippery... But they are great for running on grass

Good, but they don't wear well
Bought these in late October 2019. By January both shoes show signs of the body of the shoes coming away from the sole. A friend's Shakers have gone the same way. On a positive note they have very good grip on muddy trails but not so good on wet roads. If you are a regular off road runner don't expect them to last longer than one winter. But when you are paying under 30 quid rather than over 100 does it matter, even the expensive ones don't always last long.
