Garmont Dragontail Approach Shoes - For Sale (OR Trade!)
Posted: Jan 29 2022 2:09 pm
Garmont has a few versions of this shoe. This is the one I purchased: https://www.garmontnorthamerica.com/product/22311293
Basic Specs are as follows:
Shoe Size: 260 Mondo / EUR 41.5 / US Men's 8.5 / UK 7.5
TOTAL Mileage to date: 67.22 (Under 18 of which was done on rugged/off-trail, which the rest on mostly excellent graded dirt road and only ~2-5 miles on pavement)
***Price: $125.00 (local trades OR cash sale only to locations in the US within a 3-4 hr drive of Tucson)
OTHER:
The soles (that came with this shoe) are NOT included! OrthoLite X25-Hybrid soles from a different BUT similarly sized (i.e. 260 Mondo sized approach shoe) will be included.
***Price is not much lower than buying these shoes brand new... and for D@MN GOOD REASON: I have applied about $30 of the SUPERIOR product Tuff Toe (https://tufftoe.com/) to these shoes... despite the protective looking toe guard & side rand of the Dragontails, the rubber used is quite thin and the protection (or lack thereof) is laughable. With just the 1-2 coats of Tuff Toe I applied, not only is the protection factor increased to a VERY acceptable level, it also protects the shoe from wear: in this case, it solves the stupid design of exposed stitching and it also GREATLY *preserves the midsole. *Had I known that the durability of the midsole would be this poo mess, I would have covered an even greater area with the Tuff Toe. Depending on the given offer price or trade, I will consider applying extra Tuff Toe to where the midsole is getting beat up and/or other areas of choice.
As for Trades, here is my wish list (I'm ROUGH on my shoes, so they'd have to be new or have very little (under about 75 miles) wear):
Five Ten Camp Four, lowcuts, (Mens or Womens), in Size EU 41 (= Womens US 9.5 or Mens US 8.0)
*Any hiking or trail shoe in size 260 mondo (also written as 26.0). *I'm not saying if you have this, I will trade, but if you want to consider this for a trade, then PM me with photos & details like brand/model/approximate amount of wear.
