TARKINE ATHLETICS

Very comfortable, fast and cool looking running shorts.

Blown away by these shoes. Midsole is superb - a perfect balance between cushion, support and speed - these shoes are FAST - I'm not the most seasoned trail runner but my segment times on a local trail are approaching others using carbon-plated racers. I've used on fire trails and sandy / loamy bush tracks in wet and dry and the outsole / lugs handled these conditions with ease. Love the wide Altra-style toebox in such a speedy shoe. Regarding fit, width in heel and midfoot is good to generous - but length-wise (based on my other shoes) these definitely run a half size small. I'm usually an 11.5 (US) - occasionally an 11 - never had a 12 - ordered an 11.5 but feel I could almost have gone a 12 - switching to lower-cushioned socks and really locking down the midfoot has mostly fixed this and prevents toes from occasionally approaching the end of the toebox, not that there were any hard or harsh elements to the upper. The upper material is unique and works really well, very comfortable from heel to toebox and no water intrusion noticed after splashing through the occasional wet section. These shoes are so innovative that they are made here makes me proud to be an Australian. They are quite simply the best trail shoes I have ever worn.

I am so thrilled with this purchase since I have been shopping around for a long-sleeved high performance running top for my ultras!

The Tarkine shoes are well made, comfortable and robust. The Re-run initiative is a wonderful one that more companies should be thinking about! The Tarkine team were very helpful. Highly recommend.

I’m loving the Trail Devil 2 shoes so far - comfortable and lightweight, tried and tested on hard-packed trails and rocky paths so far. Amazing customer service. Very happy to support an Aussie business with such strong eco credentials.

Perfect for the road as a long-term Hoka wearer for trails. Easy transition. Surprised the toe box isn't square for ultra distances however like the majority of Tarkines.

Really comfy and have great grip

They offer grip and agility on technical terrain and the comfort to run for hours on end. Seriously stylish too. Arrived in essentially perfect condition. The stretchy laces are a nice touch.

These are easily as good if not better than HOKAs i bought for severe plantar fasciitis. They are delightfully light and so soft to walk on. Purchased the re-runs and couldn't even tell they'd been worn. Will definitely order Tarkine's again. And I've recommended to all and sundry

I've been wearing Brooks Calderra for over a decade but like most shoes, they've gone too plush. Trail devils were perfect out of the box. Just enough cushion, lightweight, super grippy and I love the wide toe box and colours. Bought the re-runs which looked brand new. Now for the durability test of time. Best bit - it's an Aussie company!

Awesome show with a great toe box. Free the toes!! Very comfortable and grippy on the trails. Highly recommend trying out.

Makes wearing normal socks feel nasty.

This is an outstanding running shoe, I love the wide shoe box so my toes are not scrunched up when I am running. They also have just the right sole depth so they do not feel "spongy" and seem to grip the road really well. And they look incredible!

I am beyond happy with the product and also the fabulous customer service. I was wearing the shoes in this morning while getting ready for work and then accidentally wore them instead of my normal work shoes to work. 10 hours of on your feet hospital work later and I’m super impressed with how comfy they have been. Haven’t actually run on a trail yet, but very happy so far.
I also, had to send my original shoes back to get the next size up and the process was so smooth and the staff so helpful that I have been raving about it to everyone I know all week. I normally hate buying clothes and shoes online, but my faith has been restored.

Can’t express how good comfortable and resistant these shoes are.
Thank you for creating such great and mindful product Tarkine team - service is also amazing
