Currently race in the zoot ultra race 2.0 but I don’t like the 3.0 (different construction/ added weight) and the 2.0 are too difficult to find.
Decided to try out the nike lunaracer due to their light weight (5.5) ounces. Was skeptical because I read reviews about their cause of blisters, but haven’t had much trouble with nike shoes (yes i’m a nike fanboy). First run (around 4-5 miles 8:00 min/mile pace), ran with cotton socks, I developed blisters on my back right heel. Second run was a half marathon, wore poly socks/ used some glide this time developed a blister on back left heel. If I can’t break in the shoes and prevent the blisters, might need to find new shoes.
What’s a shoe that’s light like the nike lunaracer but has a decent amount of cushioning for 13.1 miles+? Possible considerations are the Kinavras and the new newton shoes.
