AlienSoul Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 On sunday I bought a pair of Salomon Dispatch Low shoes at REI. I have a pair of Salomon boots and love them to death, so I figured that their shoes would be good too. Well I wore them all day yesterday, and I think either my shoes or my feet have a problem. On the top of the shoe when I bend my foot (think standing on the balls of your feet with your heals lifted) the shoe puts a lot of pressure on the top of my toes. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Does it go away or is it just the way the shoe is? I know I could take them back since REI is awsome about returns but the shoes are comfortable to stand in, it is just walking that hurts. If it just needs to be broken in I am cool with that, but if not then I guess I need to take them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Take them dogs back to the Re-eye. DFA has a pair of Brooks with their Hydroflow tecknowledgee, and they are SO DAMN COMFORTABLE. Ahhhhh. Super-comf, check 'em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Sounds like the bottom line is that they don't fit. I don't think I've ever broken in a running shoe, it's not like a leather boot, there's really not much to soften or stretch. The following trail running shoe review might be of interest too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 In my experience Salomon's come broken in (and start breaking as soon as you wear them. 2 pairs of Raid winds in 3 days!) Take'em back to the elves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hint about getting running shoes to fit properly is to go to a real running shoe store. No commisions here, but I have heard great things about the Seattle Running Company. I also buy my running shoes on the big side to give my forefoot and toes lots of room. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
