It was the fastest 24 miles a lion ever ran, manely because of the pawwear.  It was 2 days after a speed workout.  The toe plug tape wore through & a hot spot still developed on the toe. Need to double the tape.  Cushioning from 12mm of EVA was adequate.  Foot pain was about equal to the Hokas.  

Got 2 blisters.  This was not from socks or a toe box but the toes rubbing against each other & the EVA.  There is going to be a lot of taping.

The multiple plies of EVA definitely have to be tacked to each other & the sole to prevent them from sliding around.  Allowing the EVA to slide around causes it to tear.  

Hot glue has been effective at tacking.
