Yeah dude for sure, at 7 when it's cooling down a little (yeah right) we should hit up mountain home road. I haven't been out there yet and I don't want to be in the middle of day.
Erik: I bought a pair that wasn't too tight, and they did stretch! Even though they are synthetic, they still stretch, and these shoes attest to that. I dropped down to the next smallest size and there was quite a large difference. But now that they are stretched out they aren't blindingly right anymore. I hear ya about foot surgery, but the bigger ones really did stretch much more than I imagined. Sportivas are too loose in the heel also.
I think you have my cell # szyj..??
