Only a few weeks to break them in, Lynn? Are you running The Escarpment Trail race at the end of July, perchance? Lots of rocky and rooty trail to run on there - I will be wearing the Masai's which only have about 18 miles left in them anyway.

My bf hooked me up with some Solomons, no more resting while I stop to tie a shoelace. Rats. Yup, doing Escarpment for the first time... getting a little worried about if I'm training enough but don't want to push the achillies too hard.

Good, hope the Solomons work for you.
It will be my first time doing the race too, cannot wait. I have hiked and backpacked the ET enough, now it is time to run it.
