I *think* I'm going to like them a lot...@jill:<br /><br />I *think* I'm going to like them a lot. We'll see how the body weighs<br />in on this subsequently ;)<br /><br />I love a big toebox and I love loose fitting shoes <br /><br />(In fact I always<br />tie my running shoes so I can slip them off and on without messing<br />with the laces. I wear very thin REI slippery silk sock liners rather<br />than socks too)<br /><br />If they work well over the coming 10 days or so I'll probably get a<br />pair of Saucony Peregrine's which is<br />basically the same shoe but with a very nice grippy sole with lots of<br />knobbies. <br /><br />><br />> I tried on these New Balance trail shoes...MT101, oh my, sheer uber<br />> lightness. Not much cushioning, though, but may be worth a try on at least.<br /><br />I saw those..they look nice. ....IMHO, cushioning not so needed on<br />trails...the dirt is already pretty soft.<br />What you need is lightness so your feet can go all over the place as<br />you bomb downhill on a lumpy trail ;)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-40778840532835093032011-02-15T10:03:33.134-08:002011-02-15T10:03:33.134-08:00I look forward to hearing how you like the Kinvara...I look forward to hearing how you like the Kinvara's; I have had a pair for awhile now but only wear them for speed workouts or shorter races. I think the toebox is a little too roomy for me...but everything I have read says that this is actually a GOOD thing. Hum...<br /><br />I tried on these New Balance trail shoes...MT101, oh my, sheer uber lightness.

Well, 7.5 now!! :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.com
