I liked my pace glove 3 trail running shoes so much I wanted another pair. I decided to get these instead because they have the extra eyelets and a strap to help pull on the shoe. (They are so soft they tend to collapse at the heel.) Because the pace globe 3 was a little short and I had to go up a half size, I did the same with these. That was not necessary as these run a little larger. I do like the shoes but the insole is not as comfortable as that in the glove 3. I cannot use them on trails.
