He runs mostly on very rough rocky terrain.

The traction is excellent, certainly a ton better than the Pure Grits. They drain very well too. The level of cushioning is right between the MT110 and the Grits. You might want to try them on first as they fit a bit looser than the MT110's. I noticed that Dicks Sporting Goods actually has them in stock! My guess is that you need to go 1/2 size down from your 110's.

I love the fit. feel and cushioning of the Pure Grits but I hate the severe lack of traction on wet surfaces and no rock plate. My 110's tore across the toe box with only 40 miles on them so NB gave me an $85 credit to the webstore. I don't trust the Pure Grit for fall trail runs with wet leaves and leaf covered rocks. Mine seem to skate when they get the slightest bit. Would you recommend the MT1010's for someone that is currently running in the Pure Grits and someone looking for a shoe with some more traction for Fall. Do you think I'll have any technical issues? I can't wait for the Pure Grit 2 so I'm hoping to use these as a stop gap until those come out in Jan.

First I stopped eating products that come out of a box, then I eliminated wheat. Eventually going Vegan was a small step because it wasn't that far off from how I had been eating. I would suggest that to start, you try doing a day a week where you don't eat anything that comes from an animal or out of a box. Just real whole food. This would give you a great way to find some foods that you like rather than going cold turkey. The best tool for me has been spending a lot of time on the internet studying as well as subscribing to some Vegan twitter feeds.

I have no idea where to start and I hope living in Central Indiana doesn't make it too difficult to make the switch. What tools or resources did you use when making the switch?

It made me more skeptical about the shoes though. Assuming the size is right, there's WAY TOO MUCH material under laces which makes the shoes look at least one size bigger (any movement inside?) Hot spot, the outsole begging for pokings rocks and too much exposed rockplate. I think I'm going to wait for more reviews.<br />MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168160086976012326.post-59075222566426090382012-07-08T18:35:48.382-04:002012-07-08T18:35:48.382-04:00Road Runner Sports has them online--shipping 8/6Road Runner Sports has them online--shipping 8/6Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168160086976012326.post-44715451139112972952012-07-06T19:13:34.785-04:002012-07-06T19:13:34.785-04:00Looks like the new drop date is August 15.
