I was wondering how the TNF Vectivs are going in the longer term? I also suffer from Hallux Rigidus and haven't really run in the fells much since it got worse. The last time I did - Saunders a couple of years ago - was fairly painful. I am pondering what option to go for. For road running I wear Altras and those seem fine - perhaps as I don't run very fast these days so don't need to tilt my foot much in the toe-off phase. Unfortunately trail Altras have a very weedy grip.
