=The Streak LT As A Trail (& Travel) Shoe=
The Streak LT is clearly not designed to be a trail shoe. The outsole soul has relatively little grip, so if you run on slick cross or mud, you're not going to get much traction. The midsole is thin and flexible, so there is not much protection from stones provided by the thin sole. However, I've found myself using it as a trail shoe a number of times. While it's far from ideal, it's can act as a surprisingly functional, if somewhat minimalist trail shoe. It doesn't provide the tank like "charge over or through anything" that you get with the [[Hoka Mafate]], so you have to watch your foot placement more carefully. It's a little closer to running trails barefoot than I'd like sometimes, but it makes the run a lot more mentally challenging and engaging. So why do I use the Streak LT when I have the Mafate? It's mostly because the Streak LT is the shoe I nearly always choose when I'm travelling. I don't have to cut open the toe box, so I can wear it socially. Its thin sole makes it a wonderful driving shoe, something that's vital when my only other footwear is the [[Hoka Tor Ultra]] hiking boot. It is extremely light and the upper collapses for packing in a tight space. It works well on many surfaces, and I'm happy to run further than the marathon in them.
