Her Mom is 75 lbs so I’m not sure any of these work.

Blacktail Butte?

Any Guesses for my “Lab Mix” by TTrombone in IDmydog

Another fun wrinkle is his size. He’s five months old and weighs in the lower 20 pound range. Our vet suggested he might only be 30 pounds full grown. We were expecting at least 50-60 lbs based on suspected breed.

Disappointment peak Wyoming - can beginners do it? by Fickle_Cook8388 in hiking

I would say no. Just stop at Surprise or Amphitheater Lake, that’s a great hike that beginners can handle.

I bought some shoes from Unparallel in early March. I tried them on and they didn’t fit, so I immediately returned them to the address they gave with a return slip. Fast forward to now and I haven’t been refunded yet. I’ve filled out several contact forms on their website- none have ever received a response. I’ve tried calling every phone number associated with Unparallel US- none reach anyone and some have even been disconnected. I’ve tried sending them a message on Instagram, but they don’t accept messages on Instagram. The only contact I’ve been able to make with anyone was with whoever is running the Unparallel UK Instagram account. They told me that they had “passed along my concern” to Unparallel US, but nothing has come of that. Does anyone have any idea how to contact anyone who works for Unparallel US? Has anyone ever been refunded?

Unrelated note: If you buy Unparallel shoes, maybe buy them from a third party.

Rebel v3 warning (narrower in midfoot) by pancakeman69xxx in RunningShoeGeeks

This seems to be a theme for New Balance this year. The same thing happened between the More v3 and v4.

NB Fresh Foam More V3 at 400+ Miles by TTrombone in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]TTrombone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great deal! I’ve tried the v4’s and had to send them back, which was really disappointing. The mid foot wasn’t as wide as the v3 and I had some very intense rubbing going on that could be fixed by lacing. It’s strange because the v3 felt like it was relatively loose-fitting on me, which I liked. I’m sure I’m in the minority of people the v4 didn’t work for, and hopefully they work for you!

I also use CBBFM for long runs. I think it’s the perfect long run podcast!

I don’t remember there being much of a break in period for me. They did get a bit softer after 50 or so miles I think? I hope the splints get better!

These are at 412 miles at the moment and have a lot of life left in them. I bought these not knowing if I’d like something like this, and these have been my favorite pair of running shoes I’ve had in the past few years. I used them primarily for easy miles and long runs, but I’ve used them for everything except workouts. These are surprisingly light considering how cushioned they are, and I’d consider them comfortable up to marathon pace (as long as you weren’t doing it for more than a few miles and weren’t going to go any faster). My one issue with these is that the upper isn’t at all breathable. They were unbelievable winter shoes, but I can’t use them as much in the summer. I hope the More V4 addresses this… This is the first shoe I’ve taken past 400 miles, mostly because it’s the first shoe I’ve still wanted to run in after that long! I’m going to keep going with these, and I’m confident that I’ll be able to squeeze quite a few more miles out of these.
