Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: Weighing in at over 15 ounces, Ecco's new Mud Slinger is a beast. It has a waterproof Gore-Tex liner for muddy runs and recessed outsole lugs for improved traction when trail conditions get soft. The transition bridge runs into the forefoot for protection from rocks and roots as well as providing a smooth heel-to-toe action. The midsole has a firm foam post in the rearfoot to help control pronation. Recommended for bigger runners who train on a variety of different trail terrains and want a shoe that is well suited for running or hiking.
