Re: Shoes?

 

Slightly off-topic, but I really didn't like the Trance 6's - to the point that they actually gave me some issues. The 5's and especially the 7's are much better shoes.

 

 

But...every person is different and what works for me could be horrible for someone else, and vice versa. Get fitted.

Re: Shoes?

 

azza, I would have to agree with you there.  I think the 6's aren't the best.  I do like the 7's though!  I had the Adrenaline as my first shoe, but I think it gave me too much support. 

 

 

Wiz, glad you found something you can work with.  Did the store you bought them from have a return policy for used shoes?  I'm so glad mine did because I decided to try a new brand and my feet hurt so badly and I took them back two weeks later and the exchanged them for me.  Was wonderful...that's how I got my Trance 7's.  I call them my spider man shoes.  I so wish they could make them a bit more gender neutral so I didn't have to wear such flashy men's colors...I want PINK!  LOL

Re: Shoes?

 

Funnily enough, yesterday I just raced with a friend who isn't crazy about the 7's, and wants to stock up on the 6's instead.

 

 

Just goes to show - don't trust shoe reviews, the fit and usefullness all depends on your own 2 feet.
