@rrpeak@feddit.de linked one reddit post while I was searching for this one, so here it is anyway:

Salomons in particular are particularly narrow, so if your narrow feet fit in those narrow shoes, then you will definitely not have heel slip.

Heel slip is when you have a wide fore foot and narrow or normal sized heel, so you buy a wide shoe and the heel is then too wide so it feels like either your foot is about to slip out the back, or it slips side-to-side, or you crank down the laces so tight to keep your feet in you end up causing problems on the top of your foot.

Better to get a “foot shaped” shoe like Altra and let your toes splay out while using a normal shaped heel. Your feet will thank you.

If you are getting heel slip, get something from Altra. I like the Lone Peaks for hiking and trail running and disc golf, and wear the Torin knit to keep my feet cool for everyday stuff and around the office.

Altras use a “foot shape” - wide toe box and narrow heel. I always thought I had wide feet and like you would have a ton of heel slip and get blisters on my Achilles because of it. Switched to Altras and can go 15-20 mile days hiking with a pack without blisters.

They are also zero drop, meaning the heel is on the same level as the toe, so switch to them slowly. If you go from a “normal” shoe with a heel to zero drop and immediately start running miles and miles all at once, you can stretch out your Achilles and calf muscles and injure yourself, so take it easy and just wear them around the office or house and on short walks for a week or two before stepping up to anything strenuous.

😂 I was on Firefox before Chrome, and happily switched once I learned how much faster Chrome was around 2008. Switched back to Firefox not long after they introduced container tabs and their android browser is so much nicer that now I can’t use chrome anymore.
