Comments on: Mini-Book Review — McDougall – Born to Run http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/8558.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

They are comfortable, more comfortable than regular shoes. They seem durable. They do an adequate job of sole protection, and not an adequate job of protection from gravity impacts and heat, ie, don't wear them doing construction or wildland fire-fighting. I haven't had any foot injuries wearing them, even scrambling around sharp boulders in the canyon of the Middle Fork. I quit running 10 years ago owing to joint pain, and am thinking I might be able to run again wearing them: they have definitely altered my gait. That said, the thing that makes me slide them on every morning is that when I'm wearing them, I have no lower back pain. REI attempts to keep them in stock. They are an unfamiliar fit and will not necessarily fit when ordered in the size the conversion charts suggest, so it is worth ordering 2 pair in different sizes; try on the smaller and if it is glove-like, remand the other unopened.
