Or that you noticed it, but it broke in a bit and was never an issue on runs?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010983259483500106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-53035935211332093802017-06-09T16:21:37.551-06:002017-06-09T16:21:37.551-06:00Hi Jesse, I had that problem with the C-Lite 2.0 a...Hi Jesse, I had that problem with the C-Lite 2.0 and did lose toenails after one very long and fast descent, but have not had that issue with the Mutant. I think it is the same last, or very similar, but the Mutant is much more forgiving in that regard, either when it was new, or as it has become increasingly broken in. Hope this helps.Jeff Vallierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08106877622296558733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-84133823099197900512017-06-08T20:50:33.184-06:002017-06-08T20:50:33.184-06:00Posting this here as well - One question i have ab...Posting this here as well - One question i have about the Mutants is the rocker in the toe. I've been loving my Akasha's, and just got offered a great deal on some Mutants in the same size. The shoe seems to fit great except for my toe, which seems to bump into the bottom of the shoe as it rises/rockers up. It isn't hitting the end of the shoe, but it's noticeable enough that i'm a bit concerned that i'll get blackened toenails on long runs. Did you guys experience this at all? I'm interested in whether you dont feel it on longer runs as you're pushing off or whether the shoe breaks in and it becomes less prominent.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010983259483500106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-6041154583591574422016-01-05T14:30:12.240-07:002016-01-05T14:30:12.240-07:00Paolo, depends.

The Terrex is narrow over the metatarsal heads due to its overlays so unless your foot is very narrow you will find the upper more comfortable up front in the Mutant. I do like the feel of the Boost in the Terrex, lively. Both very good for rough terrain but I would give a slight advantage to the Mutant overall.

But with a 83 kg weight, do you think are better the Mutant or the Terrex Boost?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914648875576202315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-17794537636124031572015-07-26T07:43:32.783-06:002015-07-26T07:43:32.783-06:00Hi Richard,

Mutant is a shoe for the rough trail but decent on the more mellow too. Plenty of cushion and very supportive upper. The Speedgoat has great cushion and great grip but a narrower more race fit. You might look at the Hoka Challenger ATR there. As far as other choices I am really liking the Inov-8 Ultra Race 290v2 (review soon) and The adidas Response Trail Boost. Both plenty of cushion with Response a bit more lively than the Raven. Another fine choice the Montrail Fluid Flex St. Low to the ground feel, very stable under foot, light, sitting somewhere between the Helios and Mutant, Hokas, etc...

Or should I look elsewhere, a la Adidas Raven Boost or Hoka Speedgoat?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283739764317992566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-21552985123906379702015-06-03T10:22:18.735-06:002015-06-03T10:22:18.735-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Teletrade-djhttp://teletrade-dj.lv/educationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-29007832840414570402015-04-13T12:38:31.493-06:002015-04-13T12:38:31.493-06:00Completely agree Sam.

Very impressed with them and the upper is a fantastic piece of work!David Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258464309007708894noreply@blogger.com
