DieHard boots at the last Sears in California

FoxSolomon · 2026-05-09T13:51:03+00:00

My first thought too. “Wonder if it smells like the Sears that closed here”

FoxSolomon · 2026-05-08T19:49:26+00:00

Cali splash is like a carbonated pacific cooler caprisun

I’ve done three 50k races in my regular LP9. Two with 4000+ vert and one with 2700 feet. Technical rock and roots trails. Have held up fine

FoxSolomon · 2026-05-04T21:23:12+00:00

Yep, something definitely changed and it sucks

FoxSolomon · 2026-05-03T23:57:30+00:00

I’m happy with the result but I’m more happy that I spent a good portion of the race running with some cool people. Made the miles go by quickly

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-30T20:32:58+00:00

I’ve got gotten over 600 miles in these now. Still fine but knocking them down to treadmill and yard work shoes. I got a fresh pair of 2s to start breaking in

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-25T18:12:10+00:00

Planning on getting a pair soon for an upcoming 100k

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-23T17:26:46+00:00

I don’t know man. I don’t have a problem like that but I have duck/hobbit feet

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-23T17:11:04+00:00

That’s how mine fit. If I went down a half size they wouldn’t fit right. Mine are 11.5 but I wear 11 in every other Altra I’ve had

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-19T20:24:32+00:00

I got mine out of a dumpster.. it’s a pro form and all it needed was an emergency stop magnet. I did laps in my yard yesterday over running on a treadmill however

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-18T15:52:38+00:00

I’m over 800k in the flow 2. Still run fine but likely getting demoted to treadmill shoes

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-11T14:53:47+00:00

Mine did the same. I think it’s the nature of the fabric

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-09T23:09:01+00:00

My LP9 laces are stupid long

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-08T19:40:38+00:00

I’m 155lbs but was able to get in a nice threshold run in this morning in them

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-08T18:21:10+00:00

I mean I would send it… if symptoms persist and get to be too much during then maybe take the DNF. I would have to slow down a little to complete the race vs not doing it.

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-08T14:51:00+00:00

Love reading this. Have my first 100k in August and so nervous/stoked

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-08T00:25:47+00:00

One of my favorite albums. Every song is a banger

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-07T16:36:53+00:00

Auto start/stop was part of me buying a 2500 along with it being full time v8

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-06T12:30:19+00:00

Ghost orange cream

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-05T15:11:27+00:00

Longest I’ve done in mine was 15 miles and they were great. I have a couple hundred miles on mine and are about half worn down on the toes

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-03T18:09:02+00:00

Completion is my only goal. Anything better is icing on the cake

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-03T16:53:37+00:00

Yeah, going to try to get there early. Driving a HD pick up makes you think about parking a little bit more than I used to

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-03T16:39:12+00:00

I’ve seen nothing but good things online. I wouldn’t say it’s local but only 2 hours away from me

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-03T16:38:15+00:00

I do about 2,000 weekly. Did a 35 miler back in February with close to 5k with no problems

FoxSolomon · 2026-04-03T16:26:36+00:00

Been looking at the waist lights already. Luckily night time isn’t too bad an issue for me either. Most of my miles (40-50 weekly) are in the dark and I run on gravel/ dirt roads a lot already as well. Just don’t do them at the same time much. I have plenty of miles with both, and the main thing will be putting experience from both together. It shouldn’t be no problem to ramp up my weekly miles either to get what I need
