There are legions of lightweight race running shoes that subtract excess ounces for added speed, but what you'll need in the long run is the support and comfort features of the Nike's Air Zoom Orizaba Plus. Created specifically for adventure racing and ultra distances, the Air Zoom Orizaba Plus combines monofilament and mesh along the upper for breathable comfort that keeps it together when you need extra support. It's a design tested and raced by Team Nike ACG/Balance Bar. Along the top of the shoe is a four-point gaiter attachment that comes with its own gaiter. Beneath the forefoot Air Zoom unit and the encapsulated Air Zoom unit in the heel is Nike's All-Trac sticky rubber outsole for optimal traction on varied surfaces. If you race to win, Nike's Air Zoom Orizaba Plus is the way to go.
