| Review: I've taken the TEVA X-1 Evolution trail running shoes on about five trail runs when they were dry, wet, and moist. I've run on asphalt, dirt trail, and grass on the TEVA X-1 Evolutions and they preformed well in all conditions! Apparently it is due to TEVA's Spider XC technology which provide, "...extra durability and performance in rugged terrain without sacrificing traction around the river." Whatever the technology is; it's legit. These shoes are so utility bro. The TEVA X-1 Evolutions are my second pair of TEVA trail running shoes. I have a pair of the TEVA X-1 Control 2 trail running shoes which are great for my training because of my need for a little more stability, but the TEVA X-1 Evolution trail running shoes are my trail racing shoes. These trail running shoes may be engineered for durability, but are they are obviously built for performance. Their ultra-lightweight, neutral platform, and minimal design make them the fastest trail running shoes I've ever tried. Apparently, they are manufactured by welding every piece of the shoe together instead of stitching it, which not only adds more weight but is also makes it less durable. They even use their patented lug design which not only gives you a great grip, but sheds the mud that sticks to your shoes. You don't want to be carrying any extra trail weight during your race. Add in some leg speed and you'll be winning trail races in no time! My last trail race I got 4th overall. I'm going to drive the TEVA X-1 Evolutions into the top 3 for sure! My favorite feature of these shoes is the upper mesh material. This material allows your feet to breathe and reduces rubbing which often creates hot spots. Hot spots are for the night time, not while you're out on the trail. Another aspect that I really enjoy but can not find in any other trail running shoes is the fresh look. Before I took the TEVA X-1 Evolutions out on the trail I wore them around town. I got a lot of great responses! I think people mainly like the Harvest Pumpkin color. The color is subtle enough that it is not too weird, but loud enough to have people notice. You are like a peacock showing off your feathers when wearing these shoes; minus having to make noise to draw attention to yourself. You don't want to be too loud. It's not a Halloween Pumpkin color, it's Harvest Pumpkin. I love running shoes that not only run well but look good too. After putting 400 miles on a pair of shoes they are no longer good for running but perfectly fine for cruising around town. I like running shoes that I can do both in and the TEVA X-1 Evolution trail running shoes can do both very well. They're so diverse. | ||
