You've Made the Switch to 0 Drop - Did you go back

[sierracharlie338]

Gotcha. It takes time to transition. Gotta build your feet up to it. I started wearing my Lone Peaks in May, and have worn them pretty much 6 days a week until lately, when I’ve been switching between them, barefoot shoes, and a pair of low drop hikers. Last month while in Montana, I did a 6 mile day of plains and coulees while out hunting. The 2+ miles back to the truck were with a 70 or 70+ lb pack on. I’m 250 myself. My feet were tired, but not hurt. In wearing my Lone Peaks for several months, I have used them on flat ground, ladders, hillside, etc, so my feet have really been strengthening. That being said, with these as your first pair, if you haven’t been doing trails and uneven terrain fairly significantly, your feet are still adapting and strengthening. My feet were tired, but I didn’t feel I needed more support. I know my feet do have a little ways to go before I can hunt in something like a Vivo. Should be ready for it next season tho.

Good info thanks. I like the shoes overall but definitely need to spend some more time in them before I make a decision.

Not sure what your job/life allows, but be in them as much as you can, do as much of a variety of things as you can. The Lone Peaks are an excellent transition shoe.
