Overview
NNormal’s current technical race-trail shoe — Matryx Light Jacquard, EExpure TPEE foam, Vibram Megagrip Litebase — for fast, efficient running on technical ground.
I'd shortlist Kjerag 02 when you want NNormal’s race-trail last for fast technical ground — 20/26 mm, 6 mm drop, 3.5 mm Megagrip Litebase. Skip it if you want Tomir’s long-mountain protection, Cadí easy-terrain stack, or a road trainer.
