    Being right between the medium and small has left me left out. Fully loaded the medium was bouncing around and digging into my collar bones super bad. Had to bail on my run and return the vest to the car. The small is so small that fully loaded it doesn’t fit well. Such a bummer because there aren’t any other vests that really compare to this one.

    Fit, fit, fit. That is why there are dozens of trail shoes out there: it is because a good shoe comes down to fit. If your feet and ankle simply don't "fit" this shoe, then it doesn't make sense to wear it -- and certainly for a 50 mile race. In other words, even if everyone raves about a specific shoe, it isn't going to perform if it doesn't fit your foot right -- no matter the cool technology it has. I also will add a nuance reviewers rarely mention: socks. There is a HUGE difference between wearing say the Injini ultra crew socks and some of the really thin, low cut Feetures. I throw that out there, because fit -- and this reminds me of ski boots and fit -- changes a lot depending on the socks you are wearing. I would be testing these shoes in thicker, burlier socks that I would expect to run in a serious ultra. I would not wear socks in this type of shoe that I would wear in my speedwork/roadwork flats.

  • @UltraTrailSteven
    @UltraTrailStevenКүн бұрын

    Yep, that's why there are tons of shoes out there; for the different shaped feet. That's why I mention and shoe my foot shape/size so others can compare and see if it will work for them. Socks are definitely very important!

    It looks a bit weird, as you don't seem to be using as much body weight to help with the pressure as with a standard foam roller? Can you for example put one leg over the other legs to help add pressure while it does its thing? Loving the tech that's involved with it, very smart 👌

    Hi ! I'm considering to try the Hoka challenger 7... I've recently purchased the Mach 6 which I love, but they size a bit small (my left feet is at the edge). Not such a big deal for me as I have narrow feet so I'm not that concerned by the fact that these are quite narrow. Is the fit similar to the Mach 6 in terms of length/width ? I have also recently tried the clifton 9 which seemed a bit small, is it similar ? Thanks for the help !

    the rubber on the outsole does not look so well for durability. if you watch the Mizuno Rebellion Pro 2 rubber on the outsole rubber underneath looks way better but they cut so much from heel area :( if Rocket x2 had better rubber underneath than it would maybe almost the best shoe or if Rebellion Pro 2 had more heel area Why do running shoe companies make so many mistakes. i have the feeling most of them don‘t care about durability at all so the customer buys more. 2:27 i knew it. i‘ve sent my comment before watching it. i can tell you by the look. the rubber is not that good for durability. it is so thin. take a note on the rubber of the Mizuno Rebellion Pro 2 for example. it looks fantastic and i guess you will have way more durability.
