Better for racing rather than training - I run and race mostly on hilly trails in the San Francisco area, and I'm always on the lookout for lightweight trail shoes with very aggressive treads that really grip, especially on treacherous steep downhills. The FlyRocs are about the closest I've found. I feel very safe and stable on steep terrain, and they are only slightly heavier than traditional racing flats which are useless on trails. They have better support than cross country racing shoes (with or without spikes), though I find the FlyRocs rather too stiff for everyday training runs. I'm happy with my purchase, but I'm saving my pair for races when I can trade a little comfort for lightness and super grip.
