I eagerly await the vid George !
Mine arrived yesterday . Thanks again mate , really appreciate being included in the trial , and i applaud your continued innovation.
I tried them in 3 pairs of cricket shoes (2x asics and adidas sl22 boosts ) and they didnt fit to the end of the shoe , so a no go there.
I tried them in 3 pairs of runners ( nb fresh foam vangos , nb fresh foam zante 2s , adidas ultra boosts ). They only fit inside the nb vangos - which are by far the widest toe shoes I own .
I put them in the vangos by taking out the inner sole then replacing the inner sole after inserting the toe protectors. I found the little circular molded bit in the middle /inside a bit irritating at first , and my two outer toes felt slightly squished . I left them in and went out for a couple hours and did about 6kms of walking . They started to feel a lot more comfortable although by the end of the walk the balls of my feet were a wee bit sore...im thinking it was due to the toe-sole area being a bit raised by the bottom part of the protector that hooks under the inner sole . I reckon if this part was slightly thinner (and made less of a hump in the toe-sole area then that would increase comfort.
I agree that if the material was a bit softer that would aid comfort but I'd be fine with them basically as is....so long as they could fit in more shoe shapes ( softer , bendier material may help with this ? ).
I'm going to have a 2hr bowling machine session tomorrow. I will get the machine up to 80 odd mph and will face some yorkers - and , ironically for once, will hope to cop a few sandshoe-crushers to see how they go .
Oh, and as a 'gram weenie' , I'd pay a premium for an ultralight version !
