Men's Trail Running Shoes Kiprun XT7

As the women with wide toes area I found men’s shoes more comfortable. Decathlon xt7 are extremely well fitting with arch support and good sole grip. Recommended for anyone who looks comfortable shoes for doing a lot of moving and standing.

I cannot review these shoes for their intended purpose of trail running, but I can do so for their use as hiking shoes, which is becoming increasingly common. In fact, I recently finished the Appalachian Trail using just 2 pairs of these! Now, I really should have gotten a third pair as I pushed the second pair farther than was smart, but at the time I needed a new pair they had disappeared from this site (for any staff reading, your search is horrible - even doing a "kiprun xt7" search now will NOT surface the men's shoes). Regardless, the fact that I was able to hike 2,200 miles on just two pairs of these shoes is as good a testimony for their quality as anything else I could say. I actually used the first pair for probably 200 miles of preparation and then 864 miles to start the trail and used the second pair for the remaining 1300+ miles. The rocks of Pennsylvania did leave some tearing on the top toes area, which I re-sealed with some Shoe Goo and then toward the very end the fabric on the top area started developing significant wear and tear but again a little Shoe Goo held them together until the end. As for the soles and even the toe guard, there was never once any kind of separation and the tread held up remarkably well (they lugs are quite massive so can take a pounding before wearing down). Most of my friends were using $120+ shoes (Altra, Salomon, La Sportiva, Hoka, etc.) and they tended to last about 500-600 miles each (with wear and tear starting before then) so even if you don't push yours as far as I pushed mine, they will definitely prove more durable than the more expensive alternatives. As for fit, I went up a half size to start and then a full size for the second pair since my preferred size was out of stock. I don't have especially wide feet so I cannot speak to comfort for those that do, but I found them quite comfortable and when using all the eyelets the shoes hugged my heels nicely, helping prevent any blisters in that area. I only paid $50 for these shoes and now I see they are much higher, so I don't understand what's happening with the pricing (or the color selection, which is no longer the same as when I ordered mine). Still, even at this price I would call this shoe a winner compared to the competition.
