"Coming from the Razer viper ultimate at around 74 grams to the X2 Crazylight at 35 is a surreal experience, the mouse is basically as light as a feather to pick up and move it almost seems like it's not even there. ... As a fingertip grip user the feel of using a mouse this light is bar none, it makes it so much easier to pick up and re adjust and just moving it around with your wrist in fine movements it feels much more accurate and controllable."
"After the third run of another 15 miles a few days ago, I was sold and grinning from ear-to-ear afterwards. It's light, fast and propulsive, responsive, stable, nimble, grippy, comfortable, and protective. It pretty much does it all in a very lightweight package."
"it weighs under 350g"

"As I have wide feet, I have literally sat 4 hours in a specialist hockey shop and tried on every pair of hockey shoe released in the last 5 years. ... thought I'd try their Cascadias in 2E fit too. Life changer!"
"the Salomon Speedcross 6 works really really well for me, and not even in the wide size that they do make - just half a size up. ... Something about the upper design is extremely accommodating."
"they surprisingly fit my wide feet well. ... Both, my toe splay is very wide. And my mid foot is pretty wide. I was really surprised they worked for me"

"allow my feet to move easily ... allow my feet to be strong ... I feel too much cushion in shoes takes away from your awareness of your stride and doesn’t allow your feet to move naturally"
"basically like being barefoot but with tread instead of skin."
"I fell it connect's me with the path, the earth, roots and rocks."

"It was a total disaster. ... By mile 13, the soles of my feet were two giant blister cushions. ... I hobbled out the next day nearly crying from pain and hitched home, utterly defeated. ... Turns out padding and isolation from scorching hot jagged/sloped black basalt surfaces is important."
"hate the lack of energy return. ... Feel like I've got bricks on my feet after 50 miles!"
"I used to wear Vivos on the trail. I do think I’m able to go farther and without sore feet with some cushion."

"I just hate the lack of a heel counter/floppy heel. ... On trails it might be more of a problem as you'll have less lateral support."
"I wouldn’t choose to wear them on any single track, as they’re too unstable laterally for me."
Merell Vapor Glove for ever. (Always the "last year" model, to keep it cheap, they also became my "casual" shoes.)
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->Merrell wrapt are nice, i tried the merrell vapor glove too but i like how the wrapt are a little more rigid. Just wish the outsole lasted a bit longer. But i do walk on concrete a lot with them.
r/golf • good golf shoes, that are not golf shoes ->Over the years I’ve worn trail runners from Merrill and Salomon, or standard running shoes from Nike and NB. A comfortable fit was the main criteria. Even on wet ground I’d rather have fast drying sneakers than boots.
r/hiking • what summer hiking shoes do you wear? ->i love the trail glove! what does the vapor glove have going for it?
r/trailrunning • Looking for trail runners for wider feet with a wide toe box ->I've started off with the 6's. Great show wear it daily and run with it, but similarly looking to make the altar shift for a little more comfort / support.... Recurring bursitis is not fun
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->Merrell Vapor Gloves might do it for you if you already like Merrell.
r/trailrunning • Looking for thin trail runners ->Have had the 3s for ages, now got the 6s, my favourite shoe ever I think, just bang on in every respect (for the majority of the year).
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->I have medium - wide flat feet and love them. Half a size up (so usually UK10/eu44, but 10.5/45 in these. They are my favourite trail runners yet. Edit: pictured is Trail Glove, I have Vapor Glove which looks almost identical. Would assume similar fit but couldn't say for certain.
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->Pedals: whatever is cheap and in stock at my LBS. Right now I'm rocking Bontrager yellow plastic whatever's on my tourer and Wellgo aluminum whatevers with those little Allen key studs on my hard tail. Does my shoe stick? Does it spin? Is it greaseable? That's all I care about. For shoes I just wear whatever I have on, most commonly a set of trail running shoes. I take Merrell Barefoots for touring specifically, mostly because of their ease of washing, light weight, and versatility. Don't overthink it.
r/bicycletouring • Bikepacking flat pedal shoe ->I actually have those Merrels in blue. I love them.
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->I wouldn't know haha. I have some wide feet and have no problems. About 100 miles of trails and they look like they are brand new besides mud stains.
r/BarefootRunning • What shoes are you using and why? ->I have pretty large haglund's both heels, and have had luck trying shoes with a flexible and also what I would describe as a 'bulbous' heel (which essentially contacts heel just above my haglund's) For (lighter) trails: Craft Nordlite Ultra Easy runs: Mizuno Neo Zen Minimalist: Merrell Vapor Glove 6 (not tried other versions) I'm still trying to find a more substantial trail shoe for winter though - saved this thread to see future recommendations 🤞
r/trailrunning • Can anyone recommend vibram soled, cushioned, wide toe box, soft heel counter trail shoes ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
