1 / 2
Its original version was already a revolution in the mountain running shoes segment. Yes, Kilian Jornet, who is behind this brand, helped a lot, but the new update of the NNormal Tomir 2.0 also shows a new evolution to continue making a difference. This model promises to be better than its predecessor, because it is more cushioned, better reinforced and has been able to increase its durability.
The main argument in favor of these renewed trail running shoes is that they are designed to adapt to a wide range of runners, from those who pursue faster and more agile rhythms to those who value comfort and versatility in various terrains. So, once again, this is a launch that marks a new milestone for the Spanish brand, in which Kilian Jornet himself and Camper are collaborating.
It goes without saying that the evolution of these NNormal Tomir 2.0 symbolizes a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that every trail runner finds in them the perfect ally to conquer mountains.
What are the main new features of the NNormal Tomir 2.0?
The words of Dakota Jones, winner of the Transvulcania 2023:
"The NNormal Tomir 2.0 feels surprisingly light for the amount of cushioning it packs. Combine that with a super grippy outsole and an upper that holds my foot perfectly, and I'm already planning to wear this shoe in every race this year."
Louder, yes; but not clearer. The testimony of the renowned American trail runner serves to introduce the strengths and main new features of the NNormal Tomir 2.0.
In the breakdown of the renovation of this shoe we go part by part:
Revamped midsole.
The new version of the NNormal Tomir 2.0 brings with it a wider midsole. This new change is noticeable in such a strategic point as the heel area. The aim is to increase the degree of protection, but also to guide the footstep more efficiently.
The main advantage of the exclusive EExpure foam is that it is able to offer a perfect balance between comfortable and soft cushioning with a more dynamic response. This means that you will be able to run at faster paces, even in the most demanding mountain terrain. The running sensation will feel more natural and lighter in your stride.
Superior grip and traction
But it's clear that these NNormal Tomir 2.0 not only stand out for their combination of comfortable cushioning and responsiveness, but they also include exceptional grip and traction. How do they do it? It all comes from the Vibram Megagrip Litebase compound and the innovative Traction Lug technology.
According to the brand itself, the shape and distribution of the 5 lugs promises traction improved by up to 25% compared to the previous version of the NNormal Tomir. But the improved surface also contributes to increased stability, on the one hand, and power and propulsion, on the other.
In addition, the Vibram Litebase compound is thinner and lighter and focuses on increasing the shoe's lifespan.
All of this new outsole geometry ensures unbeatable grip on a wide variety of surfaces.
Redesigned upper
The upper features a new design that has been carefully crafted to maximize durability without sacrificing breathability. The blend of polyester and TPE monofilaments allows for increased durability and resistance to abrasion and snagging. The 360° stitching reduces chafing to a minimum, and also ensures good ventilation. The idea is to offer a more comfortable and safe experience.
NNormal Tomir 2.0 trail runner profile
The NNormal Tomir 2.0 is ideal for a wide range of trail runners. Their generous cushioning makes them perfect for medium to heavy runners looking for protection, but also for lighter athletes, who want to run at livelier and more dynamic paces in the mountains.
With a drop of 8 millimeters (forefoot: 25 mm / heel: 33 mm) and a weight of only 288 grams in its male version, these shoes are an excellent choice for a variety of distances from 10k to mountain marathons, and even ultras if you have the privilege of good running technique.
Recommended distances for the NNormal Tomir 2.0
Thanks to their versatile design and technical improvements, the NNormal Tomir 2.0 are suitable for competitions of all kinds, from short-distance races to high volume mileage runs and races.
Their ability to adapt to different runners as well as a variety of terrains make the NNormal Tomir 2.0 a reliable choice for those looking to push their limits. Ready to conquer rocky trails with you, it promises long-lasting performance for all your adventures.
Its improved level of cushioning and lightness, coupled with the great fit of its new upper, allow to present this renewed Tomir 2.0 as the ally you are looking for to maximize your trail running experience in every new adventure in the mountains.

NNormal Tomir 2.0, an all-terrain shoe that responds well, is built to last and deserves a chance.
As a good trail runner you'll already know that the NNormal Tomir 2.0 is the direct evolution of the first version of this popular trail running shoe, which has Kilian Jornet as its top performer. If you're looking for an all-terrain shoe that can handle from long distances to demanding technical terrain, the Tomir 2.0 are designed for performance and durability.
I'll also tell you as a first detail that this revamped trail running shoe comes as a slightly more maximalist version of the NNormal Kjerag, which means more support and cushioning without losing the agility needed in mountain terrain. With a focus on durability, grip and fit. The Tomir 2.0 is a serious and very competent option for trail runners with previous trail running experience.
First running sensations with the NNormal Tomir 2.0
From the first moment I put the NNormal Tomir 2.0 on, I noticed something important: these shoes are designed to offer a sense of security in every step. The first run with them was on mixed terrain, from rocky trails to muddy areas, and the feeling of control was constant. Mind you, these are not shoes that feel soft or ultra flexible; rather, they have some stiffness, which personally gave me confidence on downhills and uneven terrain.
These are clearly geared towards experienced mountain runners. They are not for someone just starting out in trail running, but for those looking for a shoe that can handle long distances and challenging terrain. Although they excel at long distances, the Tomir 2.0 also perform well over medium distances, thanks to their EExpure foam midsole, which offers a good balance between comfort and responsiveness.
Who is the NNormal Tomir 2.0 for?
- Experienced runners: If you already have experience in the mountains and are looking for a model that offers safety and performance.
- Long distance lovers: ideal for ultratrails or races that require many hours of running on different types of terrain.
- Those looking for durability: NNormal Tomir 2.0 are designed to last, with resistant materials and technologies that guarantee performance even after prolonged use.
What I liked best about the NNormal Tomir 2.0
In the chapter of the strengths, as well as the details I liked about the NNormal Tomir 2.0 deserve a breakdown, so I'll go by parts:
Tough and durable upper.
One of the aspects that impressed me the most about the NNormal Tomir 2.0 is the upper. Made with polyester and TPE monofilaments, this fabric is highly resistant to abrasion and snagging. On a recent outing, I found myself on very technical terrain with branches and sharp rocks, and the upper held up like a true champion. It's a confidence-inspiring material that is clearly designed to withstand the harsh conditions of mountain trail running.
Vibram Megagrip outsole with Litebase
The outsole is another strong point of the Tomir 2.0. They use Vibram Megagrip technology, an outsole that offers exceptional grip on slippery, rocky terrain and technical descents. What I really liked was the use of Vibram Litebase, a thinner, lighter version that reduces the weight of the outsole without compromising durability or grip.
The 5 lugs provide excellent traction, allowing me to feel confident on even the most aggressive descents.
Secure fit
The fit of these NNormal shoes is another strong point. The structure of the upper and midsole provide a firm hold on the foot without being uncomfortable. That stiffness I mentioned before plays in favor in technical terrain, as it helps keep the foot in place and avoids unexpected movements inside the shoe. This is essential when you face unpredictable terrain and need a quick response from your shoes.
Opportunities for improvement in the NNormal Tomir 2.0
While the NNormal Tomir 2.0 has many features that make it stand out from its most direct rivals, there are a few points that I think could use improvement.
Lack of a lace storage pocket.
One of the details I missed was a pocket on the tongue to store excess laces. When you are running on technical terrain, you often encounter branches, rocks or bushes that can snag laces loose. A small pocket to store excess lacing would be a useful improvement to avoid this problem and add a little extra security.
Initial stiffness
While the stiffness of the shoes is an advantage on technical terrain, it can also be a bit of a drawback during the first few runs, especially if you're not used to this type of shoes. I noticed that the first few runs with the Tomir 2.0 were a bit tougher in terms of flexibility, although this aspect improves as you get used to them. It would be interesting to see if future versions can find a balance between that structural stiffness and a bit more flexibility.
What other models can we compare the NNormal Tomir 2.0 to?
Why buy the NNormal Tomir v2.0? The arguments in favor!
After testing them on different terrains and in different conditions, it is clear to me that the updated NNormal Tomir 2.0 is a rugged, tough trail running shoe designed for experienced runners looking for a model that can handle the worst that the mountains have to offer. Their durable upper, Vibram Megagrip outsole with Litebase and the security they provide in every stride make these shoes ideal for long distance races and technical terrain.
What I liked most about this model is its ability to adapt to different surfaces without losing traction or stability, and the level of durability offered by the upper. Although there are small areas of improvement, such as the lack of a lace pocket, these are minor details that do not detract from the overall performance of this shoes.
I would recommend the NNormal Tomir 2.0 to any runner who wants to maximize all of their adventures. If you are someone who is already experienced in the mountains and are looking for a trail running shoes that offers durability, comfort and safety, these Tomir 2.0 could be one of the best options on the market today.
