In another thread I mentioned that I picked up a pair of Nevadas from BO. My feet are different sizes and so my left boot feels great and the right one feels just a little loose. It's not moving a lot, but it certainly doesn't feel glued into the heel cup. Using a different lacing technique and superfeet, I got most of that slip out, but it still feels a little loose compared to the left boot.
Just to check them, I went to the gym for a quick check today. I did 10 minutes on the stair master and another's 15 on the treadmill. Wore only a light cushion boot length Darn Tough sock, no liner or other blister prevention. I did not get any hotspots or anything feeling uncomfortable or awkward in my feet. They actually felt pretty great. I alternated between a side stepping motion and other different foot positions trying to get a closer to realty test but no issues arose.
Would you guys consider these good to go? The boots are still returnable at this point, but once put to the real test they are obviously mine. Would that feeling of not being glued into the heel cup stop you from keeping the boot?
Edit: this is the first pair of "real" boots I've owned. I've always run trail runners, so this is new to me. The Nevadas feel a lot like my tread runners in terms of fit and how I like to run them, but I am not sure how they are *supposed* to feel.
