Who uses Run and Guns as training?

If you're going to be running in boots, I would look at Merrell's. They're extremely lightweight, the most comfortable boots I've ever owned (you typically go through a pair of boots every year or every deployment in combat arms units), and durable.

When it comes to footwear though, you really need to have professional help in getting fitted for both the boot/shoe, and insoles. Foot shapes are all over the map, as are pronation styles. I use custom orthotics made by a gifted Orthotic and Prosthetic Technician. If you find a good one, they exceed the value of a podiatrist in droves since prevention outweighs treatment.

I incorporate a lot of movement into most of my courses, since I really hate being anchored to a stationary firing position. I also have competed a lot in events that require sprinting if you're going to be competitive in the land nav stages, as well as many of the shooting stages. I also get to see what works well in extreme endurance races mixed with shooting competition, like with Sniper Adventure Challenge.

Boots have come a long way in the past 10 years. Great to see people out smoking themselves.
