Review on 🏃 Men's Shoes for Spartan Race Craft Running by Cory Whitney

I spent about a month breaking in these shoes for shorter runs and even cross training when I could. They fit tight like soccer shoes. I raced the Spartan Super in Vernon, NJ and about 1/3 of the race it felt like I had no skin on my pinky toes. By the end of the race I had scraped my pinky toes on both feet. Pretty unfortunate to be honest but the skin was on top of the toe so I managed to work around that somehow. This is bad. Okay, the grip on them is crazy! Running over mountains, rocks, dirt is no problem. The "rope gripper" in the central arch holds the rope tight! The laces are ok, haven't loosened or anything but not very helpful. Dries fairly quickly once out of the water. They suck up some dirt through the drainage holes, which is probably the reason for the missing skin. My son wore the same shoes (bought 2 pairs here) and had no problems. He has narrow legs, I don't.
