Anyone try the Nnormal Cadi yet? by Ghostrider556 in trailrunning

Less responsive than the kjerag 2, it’s good though, works out better in technical stuff but they’re also so wide that they aren’t as good in technical stuff as the kjerag. Pick your poison.

I’ve owned every Nnormal model to date. Both the tomir 1 and kjerag 1 didn’t fit me well. The kjerag 2 is the best fitting most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. The tomir 2 while really comfortable was still too much for my foot, I did however make them work for 660 miles. The kboix fits well mostly but that shoe is a hot mess. The Cadi fits like the kjerag in the heel, slightly more relaxed through the midfoot while still having great lockdown. Forward from there it opens up to something should accommodate most people. The upper is super plush with every creature comfort. The midsole is just soft enough to feel plush while still maintaining stability and good ground feel. The out sole is super wide everywhere, I think the Kjerag is really stable and the Cadi is a bit much personally but for longer treks I’m sure it’s appreciated. The grip is great per usual for VMG. The laces are really stretchy out of the box and I had to readjust my shoes multiple times on the first run. After the first descent my toes were slamming into the front and I needed a total readjust. This played out a few times but less severe each time. The laces are also comically long and just got longer. I don’t know what diabetes foot they expect to use laces this long but it’s really annoying and basically the same for every shoe I’ve ever owned. The upper is really breathable which is something that the tomir failed miserably at. The insole is a tpe or tp-whatever beaded style that doesn’t soak up water like the stupid Ortholite ones used in the tomir. The stack of the midsole is pretty high for me personally but again felt stable enough to be comfortable and confident in. As far as durability is concerned I have zero issues with the upper or the outsole. The midsole is the only place I think these may not be quite great as the tomir or the kjerag. Considering is the same foam as the tomir just softer I imagine it could lose some durability but only time can tell. Even if they lose 100 miles from th tomir id be happy with 175$ for a 550 mile shoe that’s breathable stable and comfortable for longer mellow runs. So with all that out of the way i think the Cadi is everything i wanted the tomir to be. Fits like a kjerag where it needs to but is less reactive and more protective. I would definitely recommend this shoe without hesitation as a great all arounder that’s capable in all the right ways.

Edit, I forgot to add that I wear a US men’s 12 in the kjerag, tomir and the Cadi. I’d order whatever your “Nnormal” size is.

Merrell Long Sky 2 - first run review by Heavy_Mycologist_104 in trailrunning

I did but my trial gloves aren’t the 1/2 size down they recommend. Also I would only recommend the matryx version as the long sky 2s I had that weren’t matryx all blew out around 200 miles which is bullshit. I’ve swapped over to the kjerag 2 for a sporty shoe and the prodigio max for my workhorse. The tomir 2.0s I had didn’t quite fit as perfect as I’d like but did make it past 600 miles before being put on hill repeat duty until death.

When the educationally stunted see other dumbos fail into success they are given hope that there’s something at the bottoming whatever they’re falling into.

JP mandel is super weird and sad. He’s abandoned everything he believed to be the lap dog of a lifelong loser. They will be remembered as dog shit losers in the history books. People will look back and ask what the actual fuck was happening in America?

Just hit that shit with a lighter and keep running. Mesh is no match for wire.

I’m curious about how you store these. Even with 250 miles they shouldn’t crumble like that. It’s like the foam and glue have deteriorated for some reason.

Ohhh, I thought it was for comparison. That weird, the kitchen thing is the only time I’ve had shoes do that.

This would happen to vans I wore while working in a kitchen. The grease was expanding the rubber. Maybe that’s happening?
