I did a Spartan in these recently and they performed brilliantly. Caveat: conditions were extremely dry for the race. If there was any wet events / wet conditions then switch to the V-Trails. Love this model.
Water resistant, not waterproof, top off the DWR for light precip, but the membrane will allow egress after a while. The good side is they will dry quicker if soaked.
I am 1.85 with 91 cm legs i have got L size and i think it fix perfect for me. In my oponion seeing your video it looks small for you. Thanks 4 your revuew!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing as I thought I was the only one who has tried these out on the trail. I started to wear my V-Train for working out at home/outside on the concrete/in my garage and walked with them at the local park and now wear them casually/work around the house/ and even worn these formally with a suit, I have a few pairs to rotate. I tested these out in the sierra mountains for about 2 miles on dirt/granite rock/ etc. as they felt and performed great. I was carrying a 32L day pack and no issues. I do pair these with the injinji toe socks-trail mid-weight and works great especially for cooler weather.. I also have the V-Run for summer/lighter weight casual wear/workouts.. thanks again for sharing , happy trails..
It was a pretty hot day in Verona, Italy today and they felt fine, no problems really! I didn't have sweaty or overheated feet by the end. Maybe on longer runs they could retain a little too much heat, however.
If I'm honest, I like to use both styles of running (barefoot and traditional). I'm not all in one camp, for example. What I would say however is that barefoot does definitely offer something different and I find myself a 'cleaner' and more 'efficient' runner when running barefoot. If you ever get a pair, start with short and slow runs. :)
Yes, I think they are quite similar, but half the price so that's an interesting fact. Most shoes build on success of other brands I think...that's how they find their unique models I guess. I'm actually getting a pair of VivoBarefoot Trial runners in the next few weeks so I'll be interested to try those. :)
Yeah, they felt great to be honest, no problems at all. I'd probably need to do longer distance runs to test the blister theory though ;), which I will be doing in the future..
I've been wearing vibram fivefingers since mid-highschool around 2012 and my favorite part about them is how I can stand up straight. For hours. I remember I used to sway back and forth in my shoes, I realized one day after I noticed how everyone shifts their weight from leg to leg, but I can stand outright on two feet straight up for 8 or more hours a day
I find it is yes, It isn't a racey geometry, definitely more relaxed but you can drop a few spacers and get it pretty close. It has a great range of adjustability.
I got 38s, they work nicely on road but can still do gravel pretty well. 28 could be quite thin for gravel stuff. If you are just doing road then they will be ok.
I second the vote for Creepers brand wool toe socks. They are quite comfortable. I have 4 pair that I rotate thru and have been wearing for the last year. They have held up great. I wash them in the cold water cycle with my other dark clothes, but I do not put them in the dryer. I hang them to dry.
Falls jemand noch überlegt. Ist gerade für 999 € im Angebot und gibt noch Gutscheine mit denen man auf 800 € kommt! Direkt bei Decathlon. Überlege auch, ob ich zuschlage :O
Canyon frame sizing is larger than other makes Iam 5.8 and have xsmall would normally be small their sizing web site is very useful and also you can send the bike back if not satisfied
Is it really a marketing blunder from Vibram? If you can sell two models for two separate purposes, why would you sell one model that covers two purposes?
Thank you for the video:)) I was thinking about getting the AL version with the GRX for a mixture of commute and fun trips round and about in different terrain. I have three questions, which you may be able to answer. A lot of people are saying stuff about the quality from CANYON, some things missing, paint quality and so on. How has your experience been in that regard? Has there been any issues where you have had to contact costumer service? And how do you think it would fare doing maybe 70/30 on road/gravel as part daily commuter? Keep doing what you are doing!!
I found it to be of really good quality tbh, I did notice after quite a heavy gravel ride I had some paint chips, not sure if this is normal...I imagined it would be. I didn't have to contact customer service. I think that would be a good mix but you may wanna look at the grail since you are doing quite a bit more road. Thanks for the comment :)
