3 times now I have found when using a new pair of trabucos I get a "stone in the shoe" feeling under my metatarsals. This happens for the first 30km or so then settles down. With the last two pairs it was annoying but with the current pair it is downright painful. It is around the middle of the metatarsal heads and starts about 15 km or so into the run then persists. I have presumed it is some kind of shifting or settling of the gel. It hasn't happened with any of my other shoes (I have had Kayanos, 2130s 2120s, Mizunos and Brooks). Does anyone know what this is or has it happened with other shoes?

Picture of my next to last trabucos, behaving well on that occasion, on the left.

Not very happy with my trabucos either. They have a seam that presses down on my big toe joint - very painful. Only use them for walking around, doesn't seem to bother the toe as much as running in the trabucos. Bit of a waste.
