I received the 319s for Christmas and have only ran on single track trails (hard packed dirt; mud; rocks). I have been running in size 13 Saucony Xodus Progrids; love them but they are a little tight for my foot but have a great feel for technical trails. The main reason for purchasing the 319s was that I have a wide foot and really need a 13.5 trail shoe. My road trainers are New Balance 993s, size 13 2E width and they fit perfect. The 319s do not come in 13.5 but the size 13 is roomier in the toe box which makes them perfect for trail runs exceeding 15 miles. The tread/lugs are aggressive and do take up a bit of mud which can weight the shoe down. My 1st run was a 10 mile trail run and they felt great no break-in required. Great support and cushion without losing too much feel for the trail. Really bought these for 50K and above trail races if I need speed and a more responsive trail feel I will wear my Saucony Xodus Progrids with Vibram soles; but for shorter races. The laces are very thin for quick lacing..the only problem is that even with double knotting they tend to loosen up; but this may because they are new and need a bit more dirt and spit on them to keep them tight. Purchased at RunningWarehouse for $59. Use the coupon code FB15D to save another 15%. . Well worth a shot if you are looking for a good trail shoe for longer distance or if you are transitioning from road to trail. I will add more to this review as I put more miles on them.

Very slippery on wet rock, concrete and other hard surfaces bordering on the dangerous in fact. A real shame as apart from that they fit well.

Don't think these are available anymore, so the price above should be enough to try them. I bought them for a 3 week trip to South America and spent long days on city streets and rural trails/rocky areas and they were great. Big toe box for comfortable fit, but can be snugged up easily with the laces.....which I must say is one of the best lacing shoes I've ever owned easy zippy pull and they are locked in.
One downside breathability. They started to get a little funky after just a couple months, so ventilate well when not wearing to keep them fresh.
