Raichle G5 XCR MS
Raichle G5 XCR MS - easy walking men's £85.00
Here's a pair that I had a love-hate relationship with. My right foot adored them - snug fit, kept the heel in place, felt like I'd worn them for a year after only a few days' easy walking. They were robust, had a good, but not over-the-top toe protector and featured the excellent breathability of a trainer. My left foot on the other, err, hand was a different story. It may have been a one-off manufacturing oddity, but while all of the positive factors applied so, too, did unbearable pressure across my big toe and across the top of the foot. Bruising, localised, painful pressure. After two weeks of wear, it eased up, and now only slightly pinches my left foot after a long day. Weird and frustrating as in all other respects these are up there with the best. 4/5 for my right foot, 2/5 for my left.
