New shoes

Well, Ill make a quick input about the new pair of shoes I got yesterday.
I have been pondering for quite some time now what my new shoes will be. If I were to try those Ariakes light mesh people have been praising, and dissliking or not. I was close to buy them, only to notice that I had chosen the wrong size, and regreting the buy, and cancelling it.. Dont know why I changed my mind really. I guess I have heard to many people being a bit dissapointed on their durability. With that in mind, and the price tag going a bit high due to import taxes, and freight cost, I guess I just figure I need to think about it more.

Plus, I was way to curious of the "Five ten freerunner"´s. Wich I have heard alot of good things about. Only bad thing could be the fact that their grip is acording to alot of people a bit to good. Thus hamstering your technique, due to relying to much on the grip, then yourself.

I thought about that alot, and had kind of made up my mind not to buy them. Afterall, we train to be able to do what we do barefoot if needed. BUT, coming to that conclusion, I also realized, that my nike's arent that much better. I sure cant do the same drops barefoot as in my nikes. So, I could just skip them aswell?

Anyway. Regardless of what people might think, I figured id try to get my own oppinion about the shoes I have been so curious about for so long. So finding them at a swedish retailer (Ariakes is only availible to order from abroad. Another downside), and also I noticed that the pricetag was notable less then the nikes I currently have. I figured, I might aswell order them, to get my own oppinion about them, seeing how they are cheaper then any nikes or adidas I might have ended up buying instead.

So far, I like them alot. They look good. The grip is very nice from what I have noticed from the little I have used them. Not as godlike as many people seem to have made me think tho thankfully. And I like how they feel on my foot when I move in them. Walking, jumping, running and climbing. I like them alot. I notice they are a bit "stiff". But I recon its just cause they are new. Used them on two indoor sessions so far. And I have really enjoyed moving in them. Ill make a better and more accurate "review" about them later on, when I have used them more. And when the snow goes away, so I can use them outdoor some more.

Now im off to watch a movie, and slack for a bit. Tomorrow is running time. Gotta be fresh and rested by then!

Take care!
