The blisters from the glow rope never healed, so whacked on some bandages which lasted 3 miles.  Didn't have any issues with the toe plugs for the next 8 miles, despite the lack of healing & the same material as the glow rope.

3/16" polypropylene was nearly as thick as the glow rope.  Still had hot spots from those large knots & a blister on the right arch from the heel knot.  The heels for the gender which shall remane nameless are 1/4" narrower than the out of stock sandals were.

Had to loosen the laces, but too tight as they were, they were already sliding back during the climbing.  It was the hilliest route in sandals, so far.  The 3500 ft plan looks bleak.

Helas, polypropylene was once again not up to the underside task.  Only common shoelaces have held up.

19 miles have compressed the foam more than the last pair, but because no experimental holes were put under the forefoot, they have held up better.  Fully compressed foam is pretty much what the xeroshoes are, so it would be best to gain more time on it.

Besides fitting problems, running in the sandals has been much easier than shoes.  The completely flat sole eliminated all the underside pain that shoes caused, after a hard effort.  Not having to throw around large masses of material on the paws is the same feeling as moving from Hoka trail shoes to Asics racing flats.
