A simple, lightweight, neutral trainer that's cheap

amkelley · Feb 24, 2018

4/5

Overall

I was skeptical about the brand but found this shoe online at such a good price I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. It's a simple, minimalistic trainer, reasonably lightweight but with enough cushion to protect my foot. It feels extremely comfortable and durability is excellent. Has a nice springy ride. Although it appears to fit my foot well, occasionally it causes a minor flare-up of my mild Morton's neuroma, suggesting the women's version is a bit narrow in the forefoot for me. Back of heel is very soft, great for people with Achilles issues. Durability is excellent.

Overall

Used the shoe as a trainer, for marathon paced runs and even ran a marathon in them. Very light and responsive. Good for 20 mile runs as well as short, easy runs. I was very pleased with them when I used them in a marathon in February. My orthotics fit well in the shoe. Only complaint is the outsole wears down a little quickly compared to others, but the price is excellent. I can get them 10-15% below Skechers list price.
