Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: The waterproof Seek has been updated with firmer lugs that yield better traction, an extra two millimeters of foam in the forefoot to give the shoe a softer feel, and an improved lacing system. The thin Kevlar bands that ran from the laces to the midsole in the previous version have been replaced with wider bands of nylon to wrap the arch of the foot more comfortably. One comment we heard from some testers was that the toebox was a bit narrow. Recommended for trail runners who want a durable, everyday trainer.
