Hi! I have signed up for a 50km trail race in Singapore. Obviously most of the race will be on trails so can't do the usual barefoot thing.
I have been experimenting with Xero Z-Trail which have worked well during a very dry South African Summer but I don't like them in wet conditions as there is a constant tiny bit of slippage between the sandal and foot (blisters?), and don't feel very stable on cambered surfaces. I can assume the sandals will get wet, either through rain (3000mm/year!) or sweat (100% humidity in the forest).
The option that I do like is the Inov8 TrailRoc 235's (zero drop) but would like to do the race in more minimalist footwear. Is there a minimalist shoe/sandal that does well in wet, hot conditions and has a broad toe box?
