Pros & Cons
Pros
Great running shoe for a level or hilly terrain. Great for active work, which in my case involves many trips up and down stairs. Tread is great on loose rocks and gravel.
They strike a perfect balance between armor & mobility. They look small but the fit is perfect. The v3s feel just as fast as any road shoe i've worn.
Cons
These trail runner seem shorter that the walkers. The heal area is way too low.
Highlights
Quality
That pain resolved almost immediately with the leadville3.
I've put about 20 miles on these so far and i am very happy.
Competitiveness
I bought foot-beds to take up the space.
I'm a 220lb runner wearing a 12 ee who logs 25-50 miles per week, 70 percent of which is on trails.

Addendum at about 8 months about 30 miweek vibram soles worn inside food bed worn and part of the upper on one shoe must have come in contact with something as there is some breakdown there
