@@dpbg the caldera 7 are a great choice for trails. I have been using them primarily on local trails in the Calgary area. Single track work and they give lots of support. This spring I’ll put them through the paces in the alpine near Banff and Canmore. The snow pack is a bit to high to use them right now but I’ll do a follow up video soon for my final thoughts. If your looking for a good tail shoe I’d recommend them
I really think painting the midsole was a bad choice. All my painted midsoles start flaking and it looks so bad I stopped buying them. Stocked up on Caldera 6s though, that's an all time great shoe for me.
Is the lacing system still the same as 5 and 6 I hate that I wish they changed back to the 3 lacing system that been the deal breaker for me, also the lugs i agree little closer lugs feel better underfoot, i rally wanted this to be my shoe again because i was a cadera guy when everyone wasnt i felt l8ke they were wonderful 2 ,3 ,4 idk anyway i was really hoping the 7 was it , i wish i could afford to try but i cant just experiment like i did with the 5 and gave them away to a friend ugh
