To test them before taking them on the trail, I jogged a few days in them, up to 8 miles at a stretch, and was comfortable and didn’t notice them–which is what I hope for in my shoes.

A large annoying blob of sand was under the arch making walking uncomfortable. Tiny shell bits came into the shoe, filled up pockets of the mesh on both sides of both shoes and small bits of shell stuck in the ridges of the soles. I finally took them off and traded them for my traditional sandals. The…
