ultradunc May 2020 5:15pm, 5 May 2020 11,737 posts	Quote Pin ultradunc I’m using Merrells Trailglove and vapour glove as well as innov8 s on longer runs . I like the wide toe box on trail glove though will go down half a size next time. Vapour I use for recovery and form training.

Corrah May 2020 6:12pm, 5 May 2020 5,513 posts	Quote Pin Corrah I have been walking around on my toes again like I did as a child. Got a tight calf at the moment anyway so taking things easy.
ultradunc May 2020 6:28pm, 5 May 2020 11,743 posts	Quote Pin ultradunc Ishep I had a look at your blog and saw the sandals , are they the ones that you cut to size from a template?
ishep 🇪🇺 May 2020 6:38pm, 5 May 2020 390 posts	Quote Pin ishep 🇪🇺 @ultradunc They are the same ones, yes, though you can also get them ready-made, as I did. The ready-made ones are the Genesis (https://xeroshoes.co.uk/xero-shoes-genesis.html), whereas the DIY version saves you £13 and gives you a bit more scope for customisation (https://xeroshoes.co.uk/xero-shoes-kit.html)

cackleberry May 2020 9:25am, 7 May 2020 1,781 posts	Quote Pin cackleberry Went for it, ran a whole ..... 0.4 miles in my Xero sandals! Actually felt easier to run in them than walk in them. Mixed terrain, tarmac and arable field. Although I could feel my calves immediately after, today they feel fine. Still have a few adjustments to make. I'll have another go over the Bank Holiday weekend
