Ultimate Discomfort

Ranked #1653 - Men's Trail Run Shoes
December 28, 2006
Extremely hard sole, which is fine depending on your terrain. Very large toe box, too. The downfall which led to me returning these shoes were the molded plastic which surrounds the ankle on both sides. Basically, there's no "give" and it dug into the bottom of my ankle balls, both sides, both feet. First time I've ever experienced this. Tried to break them in for a month, then gave up and returned them.
