Modest weight Comfortable and stable

Anonymous runner · Jun 29, 2024

4/5

Overall

Post knee replacement, starting back with a running shoe with guide rails. The guide is not too light but not too heavy. Prefer more support to limit having a second knee replacement. Comfortable and I'm running only on cinder trails and the tread is sufficient. Running the last two months, building up slow but shoe is still comfortable, and I like the roomy toe box. Nice looking shoe in aqua blue.

Fast shoe with a lot of bounce

Anonymous runner · Jun 16, 2024

5/5

Overall

This shoe is comfy and feels fast. Not too heavy and feels super bouncy without a rocker feeling of being too much on your toes. The only reason its not a 10/10 for me is that it was a little big for a true size 7 and I got blisters on my big toe from having too much movement at the front of the shoe.
