Vivo forest tracker esc durability

[fwafwow]

Has anyone seen sizing differences in Vivos across different models? I have pair of the Forest ESCs and a pair of the low-top Magna ESCs, both in the same size. The Magnas are significantly smaller. Almost too small. Definitely don’t have room for larger socks.

Definitely.

Definitely.

I was a little surprised by this given that both shoes seemed to use the same last and sole. I can still wear the Magnas, but it’s definitely a thin sock only situation.

Same, but I attributed it to the way the Magnas are more restrictive at the front side of the ankle. The more I wear the Forest ESCs, the less tight I tie them. I also bought another pair a full size up because I don't need them to fit the same way "normal" shoes do

With you on the lacing for both the Forest and Magna. Keep them loose, even on slopes. The laces on the Magnas are basically decorative for me. I use them as slip-ons. The Forest have a good 1/2”-3/4” of slop around my ankles when I have them laced up. I cannot imagine going back to normal boots after wearing these for 6 months.

I may have said this elsewhere, but the only downside to the Forests is the lacing and the time it takes to lace and unlace them, as my buddies just throw off or on their slip-on rubber boots.

I keep mine tied/knotted all the time and just loop the laces over the speed lace hooks really quickly after throwing them on. It's easy to do since they aren't laced tight anyway.

This is what I do.
