    Any experience with Altra shoes?

    I caused a bit of a ruckus yesterday with calls. I did some digging and found one of the founders on facebook and messaged him about Altra's crappy customer service. I also wrote on Altra's "wall" about my lack of happiness. Needless to say, it appears as though they've shipped! I really...

    Any experience with Altra shoes?

    I wonder why companies don't understand that? It's a simple concept, really.

    Any experience with Altra shoes?

    8 days ago, I called to get an RMA (and really...who does that anymore?) and the rep surprised me by saying they would ship out my exchange pair immediately since UPS would pick up the smaller size. I was like, "wow. what great customer service! you mean, you aren't going to wait to get the...

    Any experience with Altra shoes?

    I finally broke down and ordered some Eves directly from Altra. They were having a sale and they have free shipping & returns, so I figured, "why not?" To make a long story short, their customer service has been absolutely horrible! Two weeks later, I still don't have a pair of shoes that fit...

    Zem 360 vs Soft Star Moc3

    I have both and prefer the I have both and prefer the Moc3s. My Zems are a bit too tight also, and I only wear them for a short .5 mile stretch of nasty road. But tightness aside, the Zems make my feet really sweaty quickly. The Moc3s are just so comfy and breatheable. I wore them today...

    I have them.  I only use them I have them. I only use them when running on a short stretch of fresh chip-sealed road. I also wore them for a 7 mile run the other day because it was rainy and cold. Overall, I like them...but they are much tighter on my foot than the Ninjas. I can't wear them...

    Soft Star Moc3 coming soon.

    I suppose if you had a really I suppose if you had a really wide or super narrow foot it could be different. I think my feet are pretty average. If my foot was any more narrow, the shoe could be considered loose. But if my foot was wider, I don't think it would bother me. It's really a...

    Soft Star Moc3 coming soon.

    I like the Moc3 because it's I like the Moc3 because it's not too tight (like the Zem sometimes is) and it's not loose (like the RunAmoc). I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to describe how the heel fits. It's more like it's just...there...I don't even notice it. It doesn't slide...

    Soft Star Moc3 coming soon.

    I have my Moc3s on right now I have my Moc3s on right now and they are most certainly NOT floppy. I don't know how you can even look at the pictures and think they are floppy. They remind me a bit of Zems, only nicer. They are supposed to fit like a sock and they do. Not like a tight footie...

    Yes.  I don't doubt for a Yes. I don't doubt for a minute that it must be frustrating. But if there are things that are out of your control, then you shouldn't make projections based on speculation! I've no doubt that they wish they could take orders for their new shoes, but wishing and...

    I am so sick of shoe I am so sick of shoe companies making promises they never keep. Doesn't anyone realize how horrible it is for business to over promise? They look like bafoons when they keep back-peddling all the time. A company like Soft Star really stands out when they quietly release...

    Hot, sticky, tar balls

    For those of you who live in areas where pot holes are filled with shovels full of hot, loose, asphalt, you'll know what I'm talking about! They throw the sticky crap into the pot holes and leave it to the cars to "smooth" it out. It's the season now and and I seem to have a knack for stepping...

    complaint about zensah compression sleeve thingys

    Zensah is sending me an XS/S Zensah is sending me an XS/S to try out! Their customer service is fantastic! If that doesn't work, then I'll have to try another brand, but I'm super excited that they are so great to work with!

    I actually did measure my I actually did measure my calves and they totally fall in the range of the S/M (14.5"). Maybe my calves aren't bulbous enough. I don't have canckles, though...I guess I'm a freak of nature! And yeah, I washed 'em, Zum. I thought maybe it would make a difference...
