Xeroshoes TerraFlex |
I've watched Steven and Lena take this company such a long way since that time, and I just love to see what they come up with. So what's new? How about a trail running shoe?
Xeroshoes Ipari Prio and TerraFlex |
I was really excited to get the opportunity to give these a try and tell you all about them. A little more than a year ago, Xeroshoes introduced their very first shoe with the casual Ipari Hana, followed shortly after with the Prio pictured above. The Prio is a great running shoe, but was a little too minimal for trail running, and didn't provide enough traction in my opinion. Obviously Steven and the gang at Xeroshoes can read my mind, and got to work on a trail version in the TerraFlex. As you can see above, the TerraFlex is patterned after the Prio, and is styled similarly, but with some great modifications.

Mr. Chips approved tread pattern |
Most of the differences lie in the sole. The TerraFlex still uses the proprietary Feel True sole (with a 5,000 mile warranty), but adds some beefy 4mm chevron treads for traction, as well as 3mm of Bare Foam embedded in the sole for a little more cushion. Topped with a 2mm insole, the TerraFlex provides close to 11mm (not including lugs) of flexible protection from the trail.
Still super flexible! |
So where did I put these to the test? Everywhere! After my first snow run, I took the TerraFlexes out to the Manitou Incline/Barr Trail as well, and they performed very well. I did run into some packed snow/ice in a few shady spots.. not enough to have brought traction devices, and the TerraFlexes gripped well, and I never felt concerned coming down Barr Trail with any kind of traction issues. The lugged sole is terrific, and the extra stack height allowed running on more rugged terrain without issue.
Manitou Incline |
But protection aside, the TerraFlex still provides great ground feel and feedback, so don't worry that they've moved too far away from the minimalist feel... you still need to watch your step and tread lightly!
My size 11.5's come in just over 10 oz, but they feel much lighter than that, so the weight is distributed well. I went up a 1/2 size over the Prio's, and glad I did... the difference was only slight, but it gave me a little more space in front of my toes that I like, and also allows for a heavier weight trail sock.

Ok... if you know me, you know my favorite trail running shoe hands down is Carson Footwear. So.. have they been replaced? No... at this point you couldn't get me out of my Carson's.. especially for ultra distance trail runs... BUT... I can see the TerraFlex going into my toolbox as a back up to change things up and to keep things changing for my training runs. I do see this shoe becoming the goto shoe for many folks as we all strive to find the "one" for each of us. So if you are looking for a fantastic minimalist trail shoe to try, you don't want to miss these.
The TerraFlex will be available for sale starting next week, and will be on sale through 2/26, so click HERE to get more info, and better yet, enter to win one of the first pairs! After that, the TerraFlex will retail for $99.99, or just $10 more than the Ipari Prio... great price for a great trail shoe.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, awesome puns, let me know! Leave a comment her or message me on the Barefoot Inclined Facebook page!
Happy trails!

Good to know about the size comparison to the Prio's...I have those and the toes are a bit crowded, I was debating whether to bump it up half a size when I get the TerraFlex. Xeros just seem to run smaller than I'd expect.
ReplyDeleteThey look like a pretty decent shoe. I was wondering if they would make a trail shoe once I saw them come out with the 2nd shoe model. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about the Carson you still prefer? My guess is the cushioning... Something tells me the 3MM of added cushion in the Terraflex might not be enough for more rugged trail runs and backpacking, while more protective than the Carson. My Prio and Coaltons are great for street walking, work, and the gym, but even with better traction/lugs I don't think I'd want to run much in them. Looks like a great day hiking shoe. But unless you're VFF or sandal-runner, the Terraflex just doesn't look like it would absorb impact for most trail runners.
ReplyDeleteYes... Carsons are provide just a little more protection true, but I love the pure PU rubber sole on the Carsons.. they flex and wrap on obstacles, and give better traction. You make a great point though about a hiking shoe... I think they would be ideal for that. I will at some point try a 20+ mile trail run in them to see.. I am partial to my Carsons because I ran a 50K in them out of the box and my feet felt great... so it's hard to get me out of them!
DeleteI've tried a lot of barefoot shoes, and would suggest a dense rubber like the aforementioned Vivobarefoot Trail Freaks. And at least on the hikers, one that comes up a little more onto the side of the shoe to protect the uppers and provide more grip for outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteI like this shoe style because i'm shoe designer and i used adobe illustrator for primary sketching. I love Raster to Vector Conversion Service

Do you work alone or do you work as a team? I want to hire you as my economics homework help expert but I am afraid that you may not handle the work alone. If you have other economics assignment help experts to help you then that would make more sense. I am concerned because I will not allow late work. My professor never accepts late work and therefore not delivering on time would mean a re-take.
