Issues with toe box has ruled out ATR. Was thinking maybe this Caldera or La Sportiva Akasha. Would welcome your views on these two options and how they compare.

You are right, the Caldera 2 will probably give you the same trouble as the 1 in regards to the midsole (though fit might be a bit better).

I tend to overpronate on one foot, with the knee ligaments trying to compensate, leading to knee pain. The squishier midsole -- compared to ATR3 -- doesn't help in this regard either. It's enough of a problem on longer runs that I took the Caldera1 out of my rotation.<br /><br />Also I feel that the medial toebox last could be straightened out just a bit, as the same issue occurs as with the Speedgoat2: Rubbing of the corner of the bigtoe against the side of the shoe on descents.<br /><br />Manufacturers only update the last on alternate releases nowadays, and The Caldera2 isn't enough of a change to interest me.<br />rmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10388816006350828762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-30792688699890269012018-01-26T10:58:19.503-07:002018-01-26T10:58:19.503-07:00Thank you all!

Dom, I think you are right about replacing the foot bed. I was hoping to find a shoe that "did it all" for me but I might need to find the closest and modify from there.

I love running in the Sense Pro Max but don't find it to be at all comfortable hiking/walking around in. It might also be worth looking at the Hoka Stinson ATR. It's beefier than the Speedgoat, but I think it has a more stable feel to it. Hope that helps!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584094744130692093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-24103605017436352152018-01-25T22:05:53.037-07:002018-01-25T22:05:53.037-07:00I really liked the feel and ride of this shoe, and...I really liked the feel and ride of this shoe, and in the store I thought the fit was great. Wearing it on real trails though I discovered it slipped a LOT going downhill. Too much to be used. I tried going a half size smaller than usual, but it was too tight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523050623753311049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-60077644302334202232018-01-25T19:02:49.283-07:002018-01-25T19:02:49.283-07:00Pro Max is probably the least stable of the 3, tho...Pro Max is probably the least stable of the 3, though not unstable. I find the SG2 to be very stable, but stack height could be part of the problem for you.

Between the SG2 and the Brooks Caldera 2, the Caldera is definitely a firmer, less squishy, so might suit you better. If you have PF, you may want to take out the supplied footbed and replace it with something that provides more arch support. Personally, I haven't tried the Salomon Sense Pro Max, so I can't comment on how it compares.Telemarkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464416054977970508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-2219693362322119082018-01-25T14:43:12.121-07:002018-01-25T14:43:12.121-07:00Hello!

A 2-day, 25 mile/day hike along the coast of San Diego. I pronate and have plantar fasciitis. I have tried the Hoka Speedgoat 2 and, while I loved the cushion, found it to be too "wobbly". Others I have tried didn't make it past walking around the house so now I am stuck between the Salomon Sense Pro Max and the Caldera 2. I would love to hear your opinions.
