Viking APEX BOA GTX Unisex Adult Trail Running Shoes (Shoes)

Customer Review

At first glance, the shoe seems quite clunky, but then you are amazed at how easy it is (360 g in Gr. 43). I ordered the shoes in my normal size and it fits. Usually sports shoes are indeed from most small. With thick socks, it would be a little tight.
The shoe makes a very robust impression, you could wear it almost as working or safety shoes.
The sole has good grip and seem to be durable. With the Boa system the shoe is quickly pulled on and off.
The water resistance I could not test.
Why do I have the shoe despite the pluses yet returned?
Mainly because of the stiff, inflexible soles, probably on gravel and rubble has its advantages, but unfortunately does not allow movement of the foot. The demolition is moderate, and compared to my Kanadia Trail adidas attenuation is less pronounced. Unfortunately, the shoe for my long but narrow woman's feet something to cut loose (the women's version unfortunately ends at Gr. 42, so I had the men's version order).
Annoying are the light soiling by glue residues on the heel. At high normal price of shoes that would have been alone a reason for return, but at half the price (flash range) can be seen on such small uncleanness away.
Overall, a solid shoe with a well thought out closure system. I think he's perfect for large and heavy guys who are looking for something stable, yet lightweight for safe passage in the terrain.
The color is actually the way so glaring as in the photo. So shoes are a real eye-catcher, but a little too flashy for people like me, who prefer to hide something her big feet, maybe.
