Trying New Footwear – Bite Sandals

Every once in a while, we have to step out and try something new. I did that today—literally. I stepped out in a pair of Bite Xtension 2 sandals. These sandals are made for walking and running, whether on pavement or trails. I used them today on a morning run while on vacation on a old mountain road that is a mix of asphalt and gravel and dirt. I ran without socks.
     The result? I love the freedom of my toes open to the air. Bite’s sandals have a wide base, which makes footing secure. The tread is fine for trails. As expected, I kicked up a few pebbles, all of which I quickly expelled in the next few steps. What I expected to be a problem was simple to resolve.
     The strapping system is secure and holds the foot in place. I found I did not have to cinch the straps tight. The system is engineered on a design that locks the ball of the foot, the ankle and the heel to the sandal for support. These sandals will definitely be in my bag when I run trails—but I will pull them out for roads too. Sometimes we have to simply try new toys—in this case a pair of sandals.
