Re: First things first!
Kinda hard to answer that question without knowing what you already have...but I think you're on the right track by starting with a focus on yourself. Get out there and run, get strong, lose w...

Re: fixingyourfeet.com
OK, I've had my foot taped since Sat. night and just removed the leukotape- about 36 hours. It came off fine, no pain. As for the wound underneath it...not too pretty. Really wet, a bit of p...

Re: Leukotape and zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is something I've carried too...chafing, the dreaded "monkey butt", whatever. Never tried it with tape as well. I picked some up when I realized that the main ingredient ...

Re: Re: Trail Shoes
I've done tons of hiking/backpacking in street shoes. If they're comfortable running I see no reason they wouldn't be on the trail. The only drawback is that the tread is usually less...

Re: Sports tape
I've had sports tape work OK when it's wrapped around something and back onto itself (toes, etc.). But it's never held well for me if it's simply a patch placed on the foot. It...

Re: Leukotape
I still haven't taken it off, so I'm not sure about how it breathes (should probably change it...a few more days and I might get maggots!). Yes, I could tear it off anytime. I didn'...

Leukotape!!!!
I just got my first roll of it and repaired my foot. I went climbing yesterday and ended up hiking 6+ miles in ankle to knee deep snow in mesh trail runners with no socks to get to the crag...Ne...

Re: Trail shoes
Gotta say that my XA Pro's sucked...not even 150 miles before the laces broke, a sole began to delaminate, and my small toe poked through the mesh on one. At around 200 the mesh/padding around...

Montbell Thermawrap jacket
A great jacket- my XL weighs in at just over 10 oz. with its stuff sack. Very simple, functional design- perfect for 3 seasons in the Sierras when combined with a base layer and/or shell system.

Dirty Girl Gaiters
These are great "dry" gaiters. As a trail runner I shopped and shopped for a good, breathable, and lightweight pair...not much out there. Most mainstream gear makers seem to seriously over...
