“These shoes have accompanied me through mountains, rock, mud, and asphalt, from Euskal Herria to trails in Belfast, and even the lab in recent days. It's sad to part with them, but I can’t think of a better way than closing the loop. I hope they find usefulness in another context.”

“The Kjerag are the most durable trail shoes I’ve ever used. After 1150 km, the cushioning is compressed but still present, and the Vibram sole still grips despite worn lugs. The mesh is untouched and still fits well.”

– Benjamin Arnal

“I’m someone who grows attached to things, especially to ‘things’ that have been with me through so many good moments. There’s a bond of complicity with mountain gear—it helps you reach your dreams at the cost of its own wear. These shoes have been with me through training, racing, traveling, and walking. I’ve stitched them up several times, but now they need rest. Time for a second life.”

– Borja Valdés

“I’ve run 800 miles in these shoes, then walked about 1000 more. Now I’d like to recycle them.”
