I was interested at getting a pair of Wildhorse but didn’t know if the traction was too aggressive for street wear ?
Nah, Nike Trail shoes aren't known for great traction (less aggressive lugs, rubber compound is slick on anything wet, etc.), so they work fine for casual. haha

I wear a pair of Saucony Freedom 4’s casually. Love the low stack and drop for walking and they look pretty nice in black

Endorphin Speed 1 or 2s for me!
Saucony has a 51% off code for them right now. They’re like Nike’s Zoom Fly 1 / 2 with their versatility but more plush to me.

I also got to check out a Ghost sample with a Glycerin sole. As somebody who prefers the Ghost upper but the Glycerin midsole, I was like

The first one was the glycerin 17, and the second was the catamount. The glycerin was uncomfortable at my mid foot (tried both a narrow, and a wide). The catamount just felt too stiff with the rock plate. I swore off Brooks after that, but was intrigued with the nitrogen in the caldera 6. I’ve always worn Hoka’s, and was going to get the SG5 (still might), but these popped up on my radar when I was watching SJD the other day. They looked amazing, and once I researched them, I ordered them. They remind me of the novablast, but without the wobbly effect.
Sorry for the long explanation.

I completely understand. I was always a Glycerin wearer and hated the 17 for the same reason you described and switched to the Ghost after that.
Let me know how you like the Calderas!

Long duration (120 seconds+) calf stretching, controlled eccentric calf raises, temporarily decreased training mileage, possibly a short course of oral anti-inflammatory medication, self-massage with a lacrosse ball (evidence is sort of back and forth on this, but I find that it helps with symptoms even if we can't prove a mechanism of treatment)Anyone have recs for what's worked well for them for plantar fasciitis? I got diagnosed last week and ordered to shut down for a few weeks by my docI did notice before this, that my Hoka Mach 5's seemed to irritate my heel the least on the run.

Thank you! Been doing single leg calf raises as rehab exercises, will look to add the eccentric component soon.
