Zero drop shoes are no joke
I’ve always hiked in hiking boots but wanted to get trail runners as a lot of people use them since they dry a lot faster if they get wet and are lighter.
So I did.
And I decided to say F it and go immediately to zero drop shoes (altra lone peak 9+). I read a lot of articles and I DID know that they can cause pain because your foot is in its natural flat position rather than elevated, and it’s not what you’re used to, but damn.
I’m supposed to go on my first backpacking trip in a month so every weekend I’ll try and go out with all my gear on a higher elevation trail so I can get used to it. I literally couldn’t this time.
I went up about .3 miles, stopping every few steps until I turned around and put my bag back In my car and decided to just get myself used to the shoes first LOL
I transitioned from quad pain from uphill to my calves killing me. I don’t know which one I prefer. Safe to say I’ll be wearing my boots because I probably won’t be able to handle those shoes that soon
