Right, the Roadfly Speed are nice, very light etc. but still cause issues for my toe/foot which is annoying. So, I saw some Zero on eBay, lightly used in my size 11. So I now have a pair of Zero as well, and I'm happy with them. They look overbuilt, only 20g less per shoe than the Roadfly, but I would say they run light, which is maybe due to the different foam. In the Zero they use their Nitrogen foam, which is firm but with a nice rebound. Whatever it is, they are completely different to the regular Roadfly, in a good way. They also don't have ridiculously long laces, which is nice.

My legs feel a bit battered after a 17-miler in the Zeros, I presume from the harsher nitrogen-infused midsole. What's clear is that my foot has issues in any shoe, it's more about what I do to ease the problem during the run. So back to the Speed this week I think, let's see how they handle a 20-miler.

I use Freet for day to day and running and have 2 pairs of their shoes - toe ones and a general shoe which I use for walking around and for dry trails. Has anyone used Freet specifically for running? freetbarefoot.com |

I haven't used Freet, but they do look interesting. I ran the Newport Marathon in Roadfly Zero and didn't really enjoy them that much. They were OK but I think a bit small for my left foot. No lost toe nails though, and no other hot spots or blisters. |

I’ve got a pair of freer but used them for yoga not ran in them. I do run in vibrams though.
