Don't forget this!!! As soon as you pull them out of the box, take a pic to show us how much toe deflection you get. If you can't get at least 80 deg. of up out of them then they must be s. Everyone knows without at least 80 degrees of deflection, it simply won't work.

They look heavy and I bet they run like crap. Not to mention incredibly gay. Make sure to wear your halfsie socks with the fuzzy ball on the back.

I have it on good authority from an anonymous source that these are actually made in Extreme Flight's Factory.

Tbob, can weigh the laces and do a stretch test on them. Mine seem a little heavy.

Some carbon fiber eye's would be bad ass!

Re: T. Bob's built thread!!!!!!!!!

I actually work for a pretty awesome distributor of asics by me. i could have gotten you a pretty sweet deal.

anyway, those shoes are pretty awesome. i have a pair myself, and they are amazingly comfortable. make sure you power them correctly and keep them clean. transport should be pretty easy, as i've heard that once assembled they fit right back into the original packaging.

as for the instructions problem, the manufacturer assumes that people who have purchased these shoes passed the 3rd grade.

Re: T. Bob's built thread!!!!!!!!!

Again, WE NEED THE WEIGHT!! Here in Arizona, I think they are going to be on the heavy side. You may be able to get some better performance by lightening the soles, adding CF laces and Helium filled footbeds. Nice looking shoe, but I consider myself to be a pretty quick runner....not sure those shoes will be able to keep up with me

Tbob, Craig here at Wildfeet Running. You really should have contacted us before you bought those. While not an advertiser on this site, I flood the threads promoting our shoes. Suited to both the entry level runner through the seasoned marathoner, our shoes are better than the ones you purchased and get this......HALF THE PRICE, TWICE THE QUALITY!!!! Please contact me first if you have any questions or have any future running shoe needs

Tbob, Fatigued middle Aged Girl (F.A.G) here. I have owned 3 pairs of the Wildfeet running shoes and will tell you that there is nothing that compares. Not sure how they do it, but they have seriously done their homework. Their customer service, price and quality is second to none. I have owned them all, but theirs ARE the best. You may want to reconsider

Re: T. Bob's built thread!!!!!!!!!

TBob, I just purchases the same shoes. Were yours hinged at the factory? Mine were and I seem to be getting much more upward deflection than down. How are yours?? Any suggestions??

TBob, were any child labor laws violated in the initial construction of your new project?
