Lone peak 9 good shoe

4/5

Overall

I have ripped holes in these where I thought they should hold up but, they are comfortable and responsive on all types of runs and races and though the price is high I feel that the value is there.

Great shoe with some flaws

5/5

Overall

Pros: very comfortable, large amount of grip, the shoe lasts a long time, and it has a decent amount of cushion. Its zero drop profile and wide toe box are great, and the shoe is very stable. I’ve run thousands of miles in these shoes, and they have held up very well and I haven’t had a single injury. Cons: the insole needs to be upgraded since it wears down very quickly and it is poorly constructed. If they added more cushion to the toe box then it would be much better. The colors are generally flashy and bright, which makes them difficult choices for more professional shoes in jobs that require standing or walking. The shoe can get very hot when doing a workout due to the wide toe box creating extra room causing increased friction. I’ve worn many shoes before, and these win by a slight margin. Many of the asics and brooks shoes before didn’t have the same level of comfort or grip, but they did have better insole durability and design.
