The Blizzard looks so sick!

Those metal tipped lugs are just perfect for days like today where it just dumped 6 inches by surprise.

Interesting. I've been searching for a wider climbing shoe that "works" (does not cause extreme foot pain in ~30minutes). I'll have to give them a shot.

Try them out (in person). I actually max out how tight I can pull the velcro straps in the morning, before a run (feet naturally swell during the afternoon). There's a brand called Butora that offers wide-lasted, performant shoes. They're not distributed as widely, but could be another option.

I really wanted to get a pair of those blizzards this winter. My size seemed impossible to find in Canada for some reason. I'll have to try again for next season!

Looks like they go up to size 13.5/47.5 on the NA website, which should ship to CA (hopefully without a huge shipping markup!) as well as distribute to your local shops. They're built around the, "Tempo 2 Ergo" last just like the Mutant and the Cyklon, so if you can't find the Blizzard to try on, try on one of those to get a good idea of the fit of the Blizzard.

Probably unrelated; the Bushido now comes in WIDE!!! Now if you don't mind telling your friends a Sportiva, some of us wear a 14 and would like accommodation in other shoes... LOL

@TheLongRanger 8 ай бұрын

LOL - I saw that! Have you tried them? I've never used the Bushido because they've historically been too narrow for me. I'm a little worried as the LS site does say it's built on the same last, making the wider fit I guess just being a differently sized upper? The site may also just be wrong.

@@TheLongRanger I've never tried them, I have wide flat feet. Their Trango series and TX Hike series are what fit me best, I do have a pair of Raptor II's in wide and a size up. I also have a pair of Jackals.

@@TheLongRanger what's your feelings on the the standard Cyklon runners?

@TheLongRanger 8 ай бұрын

@@bayoubear_brown Yeah I love them. Feel super secure and sensitive under foot. Wouldn't be my first choice for ultra long distance, but the daily run, they're really nice. Width-wise, close to the Mutant but maybe a little tighter in the toe box, I actually size down a 1/2 EU. I also checked with the Bushido III sizing: the wide uses the same last, but the upper uses more material for more room.

You not considered the Speed GTX instead of the Trango? Cheers

Maybe I’ll pick up a pair for this upcoming season.

Im not gonna lie, I got the Jackal IIs after watching your video, and they lasted about 3 months from the end of April til now…. I can get a solid year out of Altras, they just don’t fit my feet as well. It’s been a wet spring but still I’d expect more.

Damn dude -- tearing it up, literally and figuratively! How many miles you think you got on them?

@philc.2339 4 ай бұрын

Late to the conversation here: winter in town running and compact winter trail running. What would be the recommendation in your opinion between the blizzard and cyklon?

@TheLongRanger 4 ай бұрын

Depends on the snow/ice coverage. If that’s going to be critical to deal with go with the blizzard with the built in carbide tips
