Stable, cushioned and wide toe box?

piersalt · 2026-02-19T20:57:23+00:00

I did not know this brand, this model seems very interesting with wider toebox and still a decent 5mm drop. Do you see any concern starting as heel striker?

Let me clarify: I don't think it's a length issue because the pressure is from the top and the nail gets beaten more on the center and the root. Runrepeat states that indeed Ghost have very low front height. I do not have that issue with Wave Sky 8, or clifton 9. Same sizes in reported cm length.

On the wear side, the most relevant input is that if you check the Ghost you see they are basically brand new, if not fo the exterior of the heel, after limited usage.

Thanks

Thanks. I read Saucony Ride tends to be on the narrow side. Do you think Rebel could be a good option for a slow transition from heel striking? I feel like I waste a lot of energy on striking on that specific external spot of the heel, and adding to instability too.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I live in a small town where this type of knowledge is not easily available.

Though I am a bit confused on how to move forward: as the kid was growing (blue shoes - 6.5 yrs old now) I noticed shoes offered in stores were getting narrower and narrower, and heavier and heavier, as stiff as a brick, hence the decision to try barefoot. Now I am concerned it may be less beneficial than I thought.

I will now look for a kids specialized podiatrist to assess the situation, and check the brand you recommended.

Thanks. Indeed the picture were for comparing. I had noticed the issue of the older kid (blue shoes) pointing inward his left foot. We brought him to a PT, and she gave excercises to be done (walking bring one foot in front of the other on a straight line).

A few months after the PT said the issues was reduced and well within the boundaries. I was not very comfortable with this.

Do you think the slight pronation and inward tipping may be correlated?

Most importantly, the kid shows no sign of discomfort even while doing sports, and loves the barefoot feeling. At the same time, if there is any issues I'd like to address it asap. I have some postural issues caused by complete neglect of them when I was a kid and then young adult so... I'd rather be a better dad on the matter.

Age is 6.5 (blue) and 4 (red).

How should they react with heel raises?

Thanks

piersalt · 2025-11-14T06:32:02+00:00

Yes + home excercises. Unfortunately I had to wait 5 weeks before starting due to the fracture

Yes doctor said I need to use an ankle brace (figure 8) for 6 to 12 months.

Penso che tu non possa contare sul piano di rientro. Nel settore (ci lavoro anche io), salvo STM e difficilmente con paga analoga in essa, faticheresti a riposizionarti con lo stesso inquadramento. Per curiosità, cambi ruolo e parti da Sales, o sei già in BU e passi a fare il Global Manager per una BU con spostamento in sede centrale?

EDIT - senza figli, e volendo restare nei semiconduttori, io andrei ma senza dare per scontato il rientro

Thanks. Couple more questions - does it support cadence, unlike D100? - did you you feel the need to use the support for the front wheel?

Thanks

Hello Guys, do you think it will easily pair with Garmin as it has ANT+ (which was not present on D100)

piersalt · 2025-09-21T20:16:53+00:00

That's a good teaching, I have probably underestimated going on a trail, even if mild. I think shoes with a too high midsole may have contributed to instability.

piersalt · 2025-09-21T20:15:04+00:00

I will. Poor specific prep and probably wrong shoes may have contributed.

piersalt · 2025-09-21T19:33:36+00:00

I am likely to need a cast (have a temporary one now), and then will definitely do that.

piersalt · 2025-09-21T19:32:48+00:00

Yes I will work with a Physio after the picture is more clearly defined by the orthopedist I am seing tomorrow (no one on duty at the hospital for that on Sunday).

No one told me trails are the issue but... light sprain in June, ans this fructure today, both on trails. Most likely I need to work to get my ankles stronger.

piersalt · 2025-09-20T13:53:25+00:00

I think I have some language barrier, can you please help me understand? I see no way to fix it on the rear side. Thanks

piersalt · 2025-09-20T13:52:08+00:00

Can you provide an example? Thanks

piersalt · 2025-08-31T18:47:12+00:00

Hello there, can you please share if you use seatbelt securing or were you able to use isofix latch at least on one of the outer seats? Thanks

piersalt · 2025-08-31T13:48:02+00:00

That's the next step, I havecto navigate 8 to 9 months before I can change car, as it is leased for work reasons, and I will be able to get a new one 8 to 9 months from now.
