Fit & COMFORT

Short answer: de Fit is spacious and comfortable, with a double Lacessystem with which you can adjust the shoe exactly to your liking.


The Fit is spacious and fits me just right. Thanks to the double LacesWith this system, you can adjust the shoe very personally. I adjusted the lower part properly once and didn't have to touch it again. Moreover, the shoe feels surprisingly light for the amount Cushioning which he offers.

Cushioning & RIDE

Short answer: the Cushioning offers a nice balance between comfort and responsiveness, without the shoe feeling heavy or clunky.


The LightCELL™-Midsole gives the responsiveness of a shoe with a lower stack, but with the Cushioning of a max-stack shoe. The H1 is surprisingly light for the amount Cushioning that he offers. For me, it is a shoe made to cover many kilometers.

+A lot of Cushioning without a heavy feeling
+Responsive, even over long distances
–Less suitable if you have little Cushioning searches
–Less suitable if you want a strong ground feel

GRIP

Short answer: the shallow Lugs offer surprisingly good grip and the Outsole remains good even after many kilometers.


The Outsole has relatively shallow Lugs, but offers very good grip for me. The sole holds up well even with daily use. After about 600 kilometers, I decided to equip the shoe with a Vibram Litebase sole. That made the H1 the perfect mountaineering boot for me, which I even used while scrambling in the Norwegian mountains.

+Good grip despite shallow Lugs
+Wear-resistant Outsole
–Less suitable for deep mud
–Less suitable for technical mountain terrain
