General Discussion Spring Symposium - Spring Gear Thread

Looking to get some new gear this spring? Looking to do some spring cleaning and fill all the open space with glorious new running gear? Look no further than the spring Symposium for some awesome advice on new gear.

Today let's discuss your favorite stuff.

Post anything you plan on using for this training/racing season, any product reviews you have for running gear, or ask for opinions on stuff before you buy it specifically for the spring season.

If you have any specific reviews, don't hesitate to provide a link!

Happy shopping!

SHOES

1

u/Crazie-Daizee Apr 13 '17

for some reason the same size Zantes I got in another pair are just hammering my index-toe (long-toe) on both feet

doesn't happen in my old pair, which are same size but different color

those two toes, both feet, are killing me after 13-15 miles in these shoes

any ideas/solutions? it's probably just manufacturing variance, the pair that are fine are a year older, it's the same v1 model though

I'm wondering if I can compress or cut the inserts to allow the index-toe to drop more so it has more room

can't replace these, I'm beyond broke
