As George M posted, a great show for a narrow foot. This is my third pair and the most comfortable shoe I have worn for non-technical walks in the hills. I could perhaps have a slightly snugger fit in a 46.5 rather than the 47 to counter foot-roll when sidling on steep ground. One minor negative is that in the previous two pairs the heel area has worn through exposing a hard plastic part. However, by that stage the soles have worn out, so it is not a big deal.

Stable and comfortable

This is my 4th pair of Akasha 2 trail shoes. My first adventure in this latest pair was on a local trial and they performed just like the prior pairs. Fantastic strong shoe.

Comfy but not too bulky

My old, worn out Bushidos were a bit unkind to my legs after a spell off running. These have been much kinder and more comfortable, getting me back out there again without the pain. How good
