IĄ¯m really hard-pressed to Nike Blazer Haute Femmes come up with anything negative about this shoe ¨C I think the only issue IĄ¯ve had was with the fact that the size tag is stitched to the underside of the insole and I can feel the stitching under my heel. It wasnĄ¯t bad with socks, but it was noticeable when I went barefoot in them. It might be possible to cut the tag and remove the stitching, but I was lazy and just swapped the insoles out for an identical one from an older pair of Free 5.0s.

IĄ¯ve learned one thing regarding stretching. I was doing the traditional calf stretch, which stretches the gastrocnemius, and IĄ¯m pretty even on both the left and right side and itĄ¯s not too bad. I didnĄ¯t know about the soleus stretch that is done with a bent knee. IĄ¯m actually very, very tight in the soleus on the injured side so that is what IĄ¯m focusing on right now because that seems to be what is limiting my dorsiflexion. So, the HaglundsĄ¯ seems to be a contributing factor, but both doctors and my physical therapist would concur that my lack of ankle dorsiflexion (only about 7 degrees) is probably contributing as well. I had ligament (ATFL) reconstruction on the ankle in Nike Flyknit Lunar 2008 and that probably left me with reduced range of motion, although I think we got most of it back. However, with the injury it has tightened back up. IĄ¯ve had other injuries over the last year and tend to be very tight anyway and I suspect that combined with the barefoot running it may have caused the soleus to get very tight. DonĄ¯t know. But itĄ¯s very tight and getting things stretched back out is a slow and painful process. So right now the combination of the HaglundĄ¯s, tight soleus and AT seems to be a recipe for a really sore heel.

The remainder of the upper is soft and flexible, and the interior is super comfortable and suitable for sockless wear. The laces are slightly offset to the side, and loop through flywire bands that help to lock the middle of the foot down. The mesh over the forefoot has a bit of give/stretch ¨C very nice.

Performance IĄ¯ve honestly found it really hard to not pull these shoes out for most of my recent runs (though the Saucony Kinvara 5 is giving them a run for the money as current favorites). IĄ¯ve run just over 40 miles in them so far, with a max long run of 14 miles. IĄ¯ve run from easy pace down to 5K pace. TheyĄ¯ve worked well for just about everything. IĄ¯d have no hesitation in taking them beyond 14 miles in a single run, I might even consider them for a marathon. They are a bit too flexible for my taste for speed or a 5K, and the sole grooves would probably collect too much debris for off-road use, but they are versatile enough to handle just about anything else I could throw at them.

From time to time I get emails from readers with various types of running injuries. Given that I am not a medical doctor, I generally donĄ¯t feel comfortable doing much more than discussing Nike Flyknit Max the anatomy and sharing some houghts, and usually my advice is to seek professional help if an injury is of major concern to a runner (in other words, I know and respect my limits!).

One thing to consider with regard to the air unit in the heel is that because it has some give, and the heel tends to sink in, I suspect that this shoe is functionally almost a zero drop shoe. In fact, among trail shoe I have run in IĄ¯d compare it most closely to shoes like th Nike Free 5.0 Pas Cher e Altra Superior or Lone Peak, or maybe the Topo MT.
