Nike ACG Ultrafly Trail

Raced in the first version of the Ultrafly's and thought these would have been an improvement to them. I'll give it to Nike that these are a super snappy shoe with a great upper fit. The Vibram outsole is grippy as well -- no issues there. The main issue I'm having with them is the midsole is even stiffer than the first version! I've gotten 30 miles in the shoes so far and am hoping that it's just a break-in issue, but my feet are so sore after running in these that I cannot fathom doing any ultramarathon distance race in them, especially on technical terrain.

Fascinating how a long distance trail shoe has no room for expanding with your feet. considering the R&F budget. lets say your 40 miles in to a 100 mile race. how can these adapt to your feet like most other shoes. poor design.

Amazing shoe on trail. It doesn't feel heavy and has a great solid platform to help with stability.
