I wore these on a two hour trail run to break them in for the Bear 100 mile trail run. They were instantly comfortable with no hot spots on that run. The toe box felt great even on the 100 miler (toe blisters have been a huge problem for me). However, at about mile thirty of the Bear I had to switch into my old shoes because the back was cutting into my heel. I also felt like they didn't give me enough support for technical downhill running but my buddy told me I should have laced them through the extra hole at the top. I have yet to try them again but I have a feeling now that they are truly broken in and with that extra lacing they'll feel great.
