No Blisters...Finally

Ranked #846 - Men's Trail Run Shoes

I've gone through 2 pairs of these shoes as i wear them everywhere. My feed are size 14 long and skinny and i have always had trouble on my heel getting blisters. These solved the problem - 100 mile hike, no blisters! It was a dream come true. They are lighter then a hiking boot, so your foot has some room to breath. Used them in all kinds of different terrain and all worked well. My only down side is the draw string lock - if you get dirt or dust in them they don't stay tight anymore. I tend to have to overhand knot mine but it's no biggy.
