When you're ready to put a ring on it the company goes and 'updates' the shoe beyond recognition. I feel like the best any of us can really do is to keep tinkering! <br /><br />Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281336239355942919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-54098418122219029312014-11-02T04:27:01.968-08:002014-11-02T04:27:01.968-08:00I appreciate the blogger who admits their fake sho...I appreciate the blogger who admits their fake shoe review is a fake shoe review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-27979039289748620812014-11-01T21:04:47.532-07:002014-11-01T21:04:47.532-07:00I agree with you on a lot of points with the Pure ...I agree with you on a lot of points with the Pure line (although I wear the PureCadence). I don't get the toe split thing - what is it supposed to do? Unless you're a true toe runner, I can't imagine the tip of the upturned toe ever really hits the ground, the only way to spread the forefoot adequately to separate the shoe as it is intended. Hmm. I did kind of feel the Navband, probably since I had the more stable Cadence, and I liked how my foot sat in the shoe (I often note that my weird feet pull the laces crooked or make the vamp roll inward, etc - these did not do that). My main dislikes for the Pure line are the clunky, hard to control feel (perhaps due to wide toebox and uplifted toe) and the lack of durability. I'd barely get 500 miles out of these, and my Kinvaras got over 1000, especially when I was a little lighter weight. Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.com
