  1. Making an achilles notch?

    I just got a pair of the same I just got a pair of the same shoes. I also think I like them. After my first 5 mile run in them (sockless), I also developed blisters on the achilles. It seems like the top seam is tighter than the rest of the shoe, and rubs. I also cut straight across the...
  2. So I tried the Merrell Trail Glove

    You sir, are correct.  Arch You sir, are correct. Arch support was probably too strong of a word. Yet there is definitely some sort of arch molding or shape or something there. It's not just a flat sole, it contours up with the arch. I'm still surprised it does so. For me, I can not stand...

    I'm new to the BRS, and a I'm new to the BRS, and a triathlete. So far, I've only done tris with shoes and other gear and gadgets. I'm hoping to do a sprint next year where I have my VFF's on for the swim, and ride a single speed bike with platform pedals. T1 would mean take off goggles, put on...

    Thanks TJ!  I've been lurking Thanks TJ! I've been lurking for about a month. I've been in VFF's for a year and a half (actually VFF and regular shoes mixed). Trying to switch to purely minimalist shoes, and so far going good. I'm up to 12 miles in the VFF's. But enough about me, let's get...
