Since writing that post I have managed to Nike Air Max Cb uk sale resolve the issue enough to make it comfortable by swapping the stock 4.5mm insole for a 3mm Inov-8 insole. The latter has become a great tool for me when I need to create a bit more space inside a shoe. A 1.5mm difference in thickness doesn¡¯t seem like a lot, but it improved comfort dramatically in this case. The Inov-8 insoles are the only thin, flat insoles I am aware of that can be purchased independently of shoes ($10 at Zappos; if you know of any others, please leave a comment!).

The upper of the Fresh Foam is composed of a breathable mesh, and it has plush cushioning around the ankle collar and tongue. There is a plastic heel counter. Nothing really fancy about the upper. Seems durable and well made.

3. Toebox is very roomy ¨C not at all narrow and constricting like the cheapo water shoes I bought at Target last year Posted Image (see below). Feels like there will be plenty of room for the toes to spread on ground contact.

adidas Adipure Adapt sideThe other big difference between the uppers of the Gazelle and Adapt is that the latter fits very tight. In photos of the Adapt (e.g., at left), you¡¯ll note that it¡¯s almost always curled up from front to back. This is because the tight stretch of the upper pulls up on the front and back of the sole. I¡¯m sure the reason for this is that it keeps the shoe securely attached to the foot since there are no laces, but I much prefer the fit of the lace-up Gazelle. The heel and midfoot fit snugly, and the forefoot of the Gazelle is spacious ¨C there is much more give to the Gazelle upper in the forefoot compared to the Adapt(very easy to wiggle your toes around and up-down). The Gazelle also feels like it may run a bit longer than the Adapt, but I wear the same size 10 as I do in most other shoes.

One additional word of caution I¡¯ll add ¨C should you decide to give these shoes a try, I¡¯m guessing that given the lack of heel cushion, they¡¯ll require a slow break-in period to avoid injury for those not used to runnin Nike Air Max 2014 sale uk g in this type of shoe ¨C same caution applies to shoes like the Vibram Fivefingers (check out my podcast episode on barefoot/minimalist running caution).

What I find most odd about the Sneakerboat II is that they may be a more ¡°barefoot-like¡± running shoe than the Free line of oxymoronic ¡°barefoot shoes¡± that Nike is so heavily promoting of late. Don¡¯t get me wrong, I love my Free 3.0¡¯s, but all of the Nike Free¡¯s have a raised heel to some degree, whereas Sneakerboat II¡¯s don¡¯t, which fact alone means that you¡¯r nike air max 2015 mens uk online e probably more likely to midfoot or forefoot strike in these.
