"Great grip. More cushioning than the other models makes them super comfy for longer runs. Tested on technical single track, loose fire trails, off-track bushwalking, big hill reps, up to 5hr stints so far."
—Gill Fowler, 2nd place, 2019 Hong Kong 100

"Super comfy with fantastic grip and love the wide toe box. Makes it a difficult decision for the longer runs now between the Jackals and Akasha."
—Hayley Teale, 3rd place, 2019 Surf Coast Century

"The Jackals sit higher on my foot than some of the other models, so find I need to break in the heel more than I would usually do."
