Runner’s World Review
The Ortega’s design uses the simplest template for building a trail shoe. Take a road shoe—in this case, 361’s light, flexible KgM2—and give it a beefier outsole and protective upper. The added materials make it heavier, but the result is a durable, moderately cushioned, and versatile shoe. “It’s not clunky on roads,” said Ken Seale of Bernville, Pennsylvania. “And it has ‘trail bones.’”

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
