Describe Yourself: Avid Athlete
I am a big guy (6'2" 265) and finding running shoes is hard. I took up barefoot running about 9 months ago after being tired of my feet hurting all the time from conventional running shoes. I love barefoot but my feet will probably never be able to run on terrain other than grass without shoes. I was considering 5 Fingers but didn't want to go that extreme. I really like NB and decided to try them.
These shoes are great! There is just a slight rise and they weigh next to nothing. The insole is glued in so you don't have to wear socks (if you wear them in wet weather/terrain). I run about 4-8 miles a week in mixed terrain. I love them.
Three things that aren't perfect on the MT100's. 1. The heel rise. NB, you are so close to making a shoe with extra heel padding, just do it already. 2. The smell. This shoe has a smell to it. Not sure what it is, but I suspect that it is the special cloth on the shoe. Doesn't smell terrible or strong, just kinda smells. 3. Durability. After about 3 or 4 runs a seem started to come loose. It hasn't gotten worse, so time will tell.
