By...Cool, Travis! I saw you & your bro's entries.<br /><br />By the way, I'm always searching for that "perfect" trail shoe. Currently, I'm running in these models:<br />1) Vasque Blur's - my current fave and all-around good shoe.<br />2) Keen Ochoco - A good winter mud/slush shoe.<br />3) Montrail Continental Divide - <br />A decent shoe, but not as good as its predecessor, the Leona Divide.<br />4) The 2007 version of the Mizuno Wave Ascend - Much better than their 2006 model...a decent trailrunning shoe with light weight and good traction.<br /><br />Happy trails,<br />Bad BenBen, aka BadBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00686400413182985272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-25935306319467462832007-01-03T14:39:00.000-06:002007-01-03T14:39:00.000-06:00Great post, well written.

I'm experimenting with lightweight shoes with Sole insoles to add support, but keep the shoe minimal. On a side note, I'm in for Phyco Wyco 50k!! I'm pumped!Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053996084667042894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-31907774118175728132007-01-03T06:03:00.000-06:002007-01-03T06:03:00.000-06:00Excellent post.

I wish I read it a couple of years back instead of trying every single brand out there (yes, through internet). <br />I use same "dead run" and wrinkled midsole for saying goodbye to the shoe.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-45514193209721791692007-01-02T20:51:00.000-06:002007-01-02T20:51:00.000-06:00Great post!

You're an important good addition to your lives. Also, I've been checking on dirtdiva's blog since she is on your blog list. Now THAT is a trip. Very fun and motivating.<br />Best to you and your fellow runners this year.<br />SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11080196063783525999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15014874.post-45598402974635167632007-01-02T18:29:00.000-06:002007-01-02T18:29:00.000-06:00this was a GREAT post. extremely useful.
