Jeff- those are Pear Izumi N2's- I've gone through about 12 pairs over the last four years, sadly they are going out of the running shoe business- I've stocked up some, but just a matter of time before I deplete my supply
I do have a pair of LaSportivas- the Akashas- I need to replace that pair as they have finished two Bob Marshall Opens (and a bunch of snowshoe miles)- little beefier than your average trail runner, good sticky compound too
I've owned a couple of pairs of Salomon's- great shoes, but none have been roomy enough in the toe box for me (have loooong toes!)
