I have a process for checking out new shoe brands. 1. Buy when I can get a price break. 2. Wear around inside house doing chores for 1-2 hours to see if any problems jump out. This is simply to ensure that I can return them without hassle. 3. If no issues, wear them on a 3-5 mile walk. On this new-brand foray I didn't have any trouble until the walk. At a little over 2 miles I was feeling a slight rub on top of my foot at the large toe first knuckle. I kept going but by 2-1/2 miles it was becoming a sharp pain so I stopped to take a look. I found the front edge of the gator trap/lace reinforcement is cutting into me during the peak bend, just before the forward swing of the leg. I'm glad I didn't run in them. No hard feelings, it's why I buy low and test the way I do. Sometimes shoes just don't work for me. I'll just stick to my Peregrines.

Unusif you wear a normal sock you should have no issues. I noticed the same thing and have put 500+ miles on mine without issues, but again you have to wear socks. Good Luck.

DavidLindleyYep. I get that. I wear socks. I average 30-35 run-miles per week. I'd say it's a very small manufacturing glitch. I didn't mention that it's only on one foot since I truly have no regrets or bad feelings about the buy. It happens.
