Great Shoe After Cutting Sock Liner

Born T. Run · Dec 5, 2023

4/5

Overall

I have wide feet, and the sock liner was causing a tight hot spot on the sides of my feet.  After removing a small section in the midsection of the liner, it fits perfectly now.  The 3 mm drop is very good--I just wish the stack height was less.
