Very comfortable. It is like wearing a sock

So far I used this about 20 miles on the road and 20 mile in Bear Mountain this past week. The insole a little too much and bouncy, I ended up take it out and get a very thin insole. I like it since it s light, yet it has a good protection when I do technical trail running and long run. Tho, the traction is very minimun, specially on down hill, slippery/wet rocks, or speed maneuvering. The top rubber for the snug feature, it does not work anymore since I took out the insole, but it works as my shoe leashes pockets. Oh also its mesh is really comfortable.

Only cons about the Puregrit is the traction. Best on flat surfaces. Traction is good on trails too, just not wet surfaces. The original Puregrit is much better than the Puregrit 2.

This is the best fitting shoe I have ever worn in 30 years of running. My second pair of the Pure Grit. Wanted the new Pure Grit 2 but they seem to be to narrow for me.

This is my favorite shoe. Light weight, responsive, cushions impact and incredibly lightweight. I use them on trail runs of all distances. The only time I do not run in my Pure Grit is when running on a technical trail with sharp rocks and then I use my Brooks Cascadia.

This is my first pair of the pure project shoes. Bottom line - I should have made the transition sooner. They felt great straight out of the box. The tread dug into the wet/muddy trail and provided excellent traction. I am more excited than ever to hit the trails now.

Overuse injuries like metatarsalgia come form converting to a minimalist shoe too quickly and with too much enthusiasm. They feel great, but my feet needed more time to recover from long runs and 800 repeats. I should have alternated my Pure Project shoes with my Cascadias. I'm doing that now and feet are much better.

These shoes are great.

Great shoe. More protection for your foot than most of the true 'minimalist' shoes, but minimal heel drop, so the heel doesn't get in your way when you run.

Traction - it's complicated. The aggressive tread is AWESOME in the mud and gravel - one of the best I've run in. However, as others have mentioned, it's very slick on wet wood bridges or large rocks, and even slick on smooth wet asphalt. Hoping that the the slickness goes away after I run in these a bit and wear off the new rubber.

I'm in Portland, OR, so it's mostly wet clay & gravel where I run, so the shoe is great. Just got to be careful on those bridges.

great shoe for trails. i ran in pure flows, decided to move to this shoe. the upper is more durable/breathable and the black/brown/blue combo is my favorite. the ride of the shoe is stable, responsive - but definitely not mushy - the sole/drop seem right if you are on trails, the split-toe (although seems gimmicky) gives additional flexibility on tricky surfaces(rocks, uneven trails), the weight is nice and light. the toe box seems narrower, so i had to return and go up a 1/2 size. pure flow toe box is roomy, this is more snug. the lacing system is not great (creates tension on top, and lower laces are more slack), but you can manage it. overall - great shoe, i am getting ready to order another pair for back-ups because they are killing this style, going to new 2013 model.
