— Show original

Light, good. Quick pulls on the leg.

Even after being tightened to the end, these were too loose for a narrow foot, so the footwear had to be returned.

The shoes slightly squeeze the outer edge of the foot behind the little toe. I didn't notice this when I was making the appointment, but the pain started to come when I was using it. In my opinion, the tightness is caused by the seams/stitches at the junction of three overlapping fabrics, which hit exactly at that point. So, it's a bit narrow from here. Flexible lacing is a bad thing. Caused a feeling of tightness and aggravated this problem. I changed the straps to normal ones. The pain is still not completely gone. It seems that the shoes are unusable and end up in the trash. In the end, not very good for the price. Because of the Goretex membrane, the shoe also grinds when used indoors. Should have ordered the membraneless version of this shoe directly from Haix. I couldn't find it available in Finland. after about a week of walking, these shoes would seem to end up in the trash. An expensive test came. The sole and sturdiness of the shoe would otherwise seem good, e.g. narrower for the foot could work. Does not cause pain in the soles of the feet. On the other hand, the pronation support on the bottom of the shoe may also be the cause of tightness, because it wedges the foot towards the outer edge. (Where there is pain at the end of the outermost bone of the metatarsal)
