I got a little carried away at my buddy's wedding awhile back...the right amount of beers, overly tight dress shoes, and a wide open dance floor. A few months later my right foot is not right. I damaged a nerve, Morton's Neuroma. Every time I take a step I feel like I'm stepping on a small rock. Thanks a lot Busch Light, Neil Diamond, and 50 year old ladies who love to dance. Two cortisone shots later (hurts like a banshee), the pain from just walking is gone, but my two little toes still get numb. Being an agronomist, I put a lot of miles on during the growing season. The standard running shoe that used to suffice in corn fields no longer holds up. I busted out my Beartooths and what a relief that was. I got to break in my new boots and the stiff boot completely stopped the pain and numbness. I'm looking for a lighter set of shoes that have a stiff sole. Something between a Brooks running shoe and a mountain boot. A lot of folks on here like Altras, Salomons, and Obozs. I'd be interested on your opinion on how stiff these are and if you think they'd fit what I'm looking for.
Thanks a lot,
