These are hard shoes in both the figurative and literal sense; the aggressive lugs, low stack height and lack of padding means the bottom of your feet quickly start to ache. I would say generally not an issue, but have worn several pairs of shoes in the past from other brands that have this non slip heel material, which has accelerated the wear of the heel of my socks. I have 3 holes forming on the ripstop fabric which is a bit disappointing because for mountain running shoes, a couple unfortunate roots/sticks caught my toe box area and put small holes that are growing a bit larger.

Patriot leaders also sent word to a Virginia militia leader, William Campbell, asking him to join them at Sycamore Shoals.

The tongue is also fully gusseted and I never had problems with it bunching or sliding to one side or the other. On flatter, faster trails / races with a lot of harder surfaces, I would prefer more cushioned trail shoes like the Hoka Speedgoat, Salomon Sense Ride, or Altra Timp 2. m., [31] when the 900 Patriots (including John Crockett, father of Davy Crockett) approached the steep base of the western ridge.

On October 4, the Patriot militia reached Ferguson's former camp at Gilbert Town, [24] where thirty Georgia militiamen joined them, anxious for action. Emir “At first, I felt a little clumsy and klompy, but I realized that I needed to put more mountain into it. Dom: Unlike Jeff, I generally enjoy the wider toebox of Altra shoes, and the shape of the King MT is a really pleasing experience for me. This is something I have mostly just lived with, trying to keep it under control by more or less permanently wearing Compeed on my ring toes.I wore the King MT 2 on a semi technical and often rocky 5 hour hike/run, which proved to be way too much, at least for my preference/tolerance, leaving my feet somewhat sore and legs surprisingly fatigued. The detachments of Shelby, Sevier and Campbell were met by 160 North Carolina militiamen led by Charles McDowell and his brother Joseph. More runs in the wash and canyons, then a three-day, 60-km hike with a starting load of 25 kilos (half water). If you find yourself plowing through lots of mud and puddles right through the colder months, they would do you proud. The 19mm midsole is not as cushioned as other Altras, but with the rock plate it offers enough protection to keep the bottom of your feet safe.
