I purchased these for the sole durability and I haven't been disappointed. I'm a heavier runner 6'2" 200 lbs and often run both street and trail on the same run so having a shoe that can handle both was the impetus behind this purchase. The top of the shoes binds the top of my foot slightly and the shell isn't very flexible. Good durable shoe, but won't win any comfort awards.
After putting in about 500 miles on these shoes, I've got to say I rated them too low. They gradually get more comfortable, but the durability is truly striking. Most of my running shoes show signs of wear a month in, but it took me a good 3 months to see any wear on the outer heal (where I tend to see wear first. I liked these so much I'm buying another pair and re-rating my purchase to a 5.

I've really just started running, but we get nasty weather in Calgary and I wanted something I could run through the winter with. I'd been using Saucony Men's Grid Trigon 3 Ride I bought a few years ago, and the shoes felt great but they're mesh, and the last thing you want to do is run with literally frozen feet.
The Crossmax are incredible. Excellent grip on snow and ice, to the point where I often just take my crampons off and run without. I've run in -18C and stayed warm, comfortable and nimble. They genuinely are door-to-trail, and I run in mixed terrain, from ravines to sidewalks without a problem.
My only problem is with the arch - I've had some twinges in the arch, and I have high arches, although I suspect that will lessen as I beat the shoes up more. Other than that, excellent shoes.

I bought these one week before my first trail event. The Hyner Trail Challenge is a 16.5 mile event with over 1500 feet of elevation to climb. This year there was an added bonus of what can only be explained as a monsoon with freezing rain, sleet and high winds. The new shoes were definitely put to the test. These shoes gripped all of the mud laden surfaces both uphill and downhill giving me a immense feeling of stability and traction through the muddy and rocky trail. They also helped to stabilize my feet by keeping my ankles from rolling.
I have tried other shoes, but these had no break in period, felt the best and have held up to additional trail runs since the Hyner Trail Challenge. I would highly recommend these to anyone considering a purchase.
