THE MONTANA’S OPEN-TREAD sole gets removable toe studs for extra grip and sheds mud fast. It’s reasonably stiff but can be softened via a unique removable shank that also opens up vent slots. The dualcompound ‘hard and harder’ tread is slippery in the wet though.
Toe mesh lets water and wind in and heat out, which is good or bad
depending on the weather. The narrow fit can concentrate pressure painfully
over the cleat, and while the main strap is adjustable, some testers complained
it overlapped painfully on the ratchet anchor plate if they tightened it enough
to stop their heels shifting about.
The shoes’ low weight and decent price (they were 125$ at Evans at time
of writing) still makes them worth a look for narrow footers.
