You will love the roll of the shoe as well as how light it feels. Besides it looks good too! Perfect for the gym and treadmill. Yes. You will love the roll of the shoe as well as how light it feels.

I used the SS 2 as a gym shoe also in addition to running. but as winter approaches, it becomes harder to run outside, would I be able to use the XC as a gym shoe for weight training and running on treadmill and on elliptical. another question.

The Seek II has been replaced with a new and improved Seek III. The Peak XC is a lower profile, more minimalistic version of the Seek. Here is a response from our team member Scott Jaime who uses both: two totally different shoes. I use both but for different reasons. The SS in a much beefier shoe with substantial protection underneath and on the side walls. The sole is much stiffer as well. The XC is built for speed and "should" be used for shorter races (50K and less) with smoother trails. The XC also has a more flexible sole with a great role to it. Not much tread or protection offered anywhere on the shoe - like I said the XC is built for speed and should only be worn after training in it awhile. Because they are so light the foot is worked much more and tends to get tired to the untrained foot. XC never would have worked for Hard Rock. SS never would have worked for Leadville. ...for me anyways. I hope that helpd jd. Cheers! jd

And more importantly congrats on White River! With the short amount of time you had to prepare, that was a great result! Great result no matter what! As far as the shoe goes, the Syncroseek 2 provides a little more protection than most runners like but was perfect for me during Hard Rock. The shoe that I think you will really, really like is the Peak XC. Very light and flexible. PI shoes have truly been transformed and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Good luck with the rest of your season! Scott Jaime Hey Brad,

Second - Gnarly foot picture. Third - Great push for the PI shoes. I have often looked but haven't made the move to try a pair. I have a medium wide foot and prefer a shoe with good fore foot width and toe wiggle room. After reading your review I will surely put them on my list to try. this summer has been interesting, I'm about to try my fourth brand of shoes and I have'nt really found one I'm sold on. Thanks for the info. Good luck on the remainder of your summer. First – A belated congrats on HardRock! Second – Gnarly foot picture. Third – Great push for the PI shoes.
