Nice review. Body Glide stains like crazy. I now have Hooter shirts of all colors…I will have to try the hot water. I started using New Skin. One coat for 5 miles and two for Marathons. Put it on the night before or 5 minutes before…it doesn’t matter. My wife coined the phrase and I sent it in to New Skin…TenderBuds. Of course no response was recieved. Below is a story about chafing with a bit of self humiliation tied into it.

I found that for the set in BG stains, it didn’t work on it’s own. But, the combination of hot water and a 1:1 solution of Simple Green sprayed on the shirt before washing seems to have done the trick.

So, Marc, did it work?

Thanks for the post, Jay! I’ve got the stain problem in my tech shirts and regular detergent doesn’t work to take it out. My wife will be quite pleased if your solution works and I don’t have to go buy another expensive tech shirt.

Greg, they are a bit narrow in the toebox, but I have pretty skinny feet, so it wasn’t an issue for me. I was really more comparing these to the T6 in my mind, and that shoe was extremely narrow for me. The arch really wasn’t a support issue, as the midsole isn’t shaped, but there is a pronounced upward curve in the sockliner which was a bit surprising.

Good review Jay, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’ve thought about trying these but Thomas warns they are a bit narrow. The Kinvara 2′s are about at my limit of “narrowness” in a shoe, so I’m interested in your impression too on how these compare. Anyway, the arch support now also concerns me. Nonetheless, I think I’ll take the opportunity to at least try a pair on, as I’m still on a hunt for something a little lighter than the Lunarfly’s but maybe more supportive than the Kinvaras.

Jay, what steady splits and an overall impressive results! I was glad to see your performance as you really delivered a race indicative of your training this summer. Now, go beat down that half-marathon bugaboo, will you?
