Changes

I've tried quite an array of tools for modifying these shoes[[Shoes]], and my preferred tool tool is a cheap sheath knife. The knife is a Clipper and is a remarkable knife for the price - I've abused mine horribly and it's still in great condition. '''Update''' Using an electric knife works much better. It works much faster and allows for higher precision - http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CEK-40-Electric-Knife/dp/B00004WKI3

See how the toes overlap the sides of the shoe and the shoe is a different shape? I've never understood why shoes [[Shoes]] are not the shape of your feet. I did not have a problem with the toe box of the Free until I started wearing Vibram FiveFingers. Once my toes had become used to freedom, they were very unhappy with a toe box.

The next stage may well be to add some extra traction for running trails [[Running Trails]] or on ice. [http://www.skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htm http://www.skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htm]. However, talking to folks who have done this, the results are mixed at best.
