A true sleeper racing shoe

Anonymous runner · Jan 13, 2020

4/5

Overall

An awsome shoe that anyne can love. They are less cushioned but you get used to them soon. The worst part is the very windy upper. But you easily get used to that as well. They are light with pretty good rubber. The Continental rubber is a bit hard and less grippy on icy and wet surfaces but nothing to serious. I ran more than 550kms in them and they are still great. Recommend 100%!!
