The model was Hardrock, they were discounted shoes,  bought for $59 I think, 
because they were last year's model (2007). I don't  think there was anything 
magic about these particular shoes except like most  trailrunners they have a 
stiff mid-sole. I'm 150 lbs, carry 30 lb pack so I'm  not particularly hard on 
them. They look pretty worn and I was told they would  last 300-500 miles. 
After that trip I'm using them on local trails but would  buy another pair if I 
was heading out for any long distance  hike.

The Montrail Hardrocks were a great shoe in 2007, but beware of the 2008  
model. Not as good. It was made by a new company (colombia?), who doesn't know  
shoes (but I hear 09 may be better, another company (mountain Hardware? ) is  
doing them.
