I do seem to get first priority on this stuff, but then again I have been doing it for a long time and I am always quick to run down there and do fit tests or whatever. Ahhh... the perks of not having a job (or kids)... ;).<BR/><BR/>I have been balking about that mid arch outsole thing for years and they are slowly going in that direction on this shoe. If you look at the first picture, you can see that they are half way there.<BR/><BR/>I tried the shoes today for a long hike/scramble with a heavy pack and they were AWESOME! Super comfortable and cush, great traction.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834572771955617940.post-23360065377031242562008-10-04T11:04:00.000-06:002008-10-04T11:04:00.000-06:00Ah, I must of ticked Mike off. i never got back t...Ah, I must of ticked Mike off. i never got back to him with the last shoe test. Ah well.<BR/><BR/>PI still needs to drop that damn mid arch on the outsole. Make the whole damn thing flat. More surface area means more friction. And on a trail shoe that is a good thing.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.com
