Patrick, Sorry to hear that the Streaks didn’t work out for you. Where did you blister?

I have some Hardrocks that I like for training but I fell are to heavy to race in, they fit me great and don’t blister my feet. I bought some streaks that were the same size, and my feet wont stop blistering.

William,
I tested out the Streak on an occasionally rocky 21 mile trail run this weekend while wearing a 14 pound pack and had no issues even though I was seeking out the rocks. I don’t remember significant problems or rockier terrain either. That said, they are not super protective. I’d say they are a fine compromise for most uses. The toe box is not especially wide.

Byron, I’ve been using the NB 800s as a light trail shoe, but they let you feel the trail a little too much… What is the underfoot protection in the Streaks like? How about toe box width for my 6th toe?

Steph,
I found the Streak to have a rather standard fit. That said, I tend to be ok in size 9 for everything. I haven’t heard of anyone mentioning the size of the Streak being off.

Anyone else?

Did anyone feel it was true to size?

I have both the Hardrock and the Hurricane Ridge and, although they are both size 9 (my running shoe size) the Hardrock is way too small (had to size up one half size).

Here’s what Bedford “Bedrock” Boyce had to say after wearing the Montrail Streak in wet conditions at the notoriously rocky Massanutten 100 last weekend:

“By the way, the Streaks were perfect for the course this year. They drained so well that I never had to change my socks and only got one small blister on the inside of my heel. “

Anonymous #1,
The Montrail Streak is a solid, light-weight, full-service trail shoe.

Without a doubt, these are the best trail shoes I’ve ever worn. They work great on the road to boot. I recently ran a 50 miler in them and had *zero* foot issues. I have a very wide forefoot and even with the inevitable foot swelling in a longer run, I had no problems at all. The shoes grip the terrain really well, too. The funny thing about this shoe is that it’s quite lightweight, yet seems protective and supportive like a much heavier shoe. However, it is light and meshy and I love that.

Bedrock, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Streak!
