Vasque Pendulum Trail Runner Review

posted by gumptiongear October 11, 2012 0 comments

You’ll look up and down streets. Look ’em over with care.

– Dr. Suess

For those who prefer long miles along winding mountain trails threading through thick forested slopes to the monotony of city streets, Vasque’s latest addition to its quiver of technical trail shoes, the Pendulum, is ready to carry you in any direction you choose.
