A perfect natural motion shoe

Anonymous runner · Feb 8, 2018

5/5

Overall

From run to run these shoes are excellent to allow one to run with uninhibited mechanics; i.e. the shoe does not get in the way. At the same time, however, the shoe provides a slight amount of bouncy cushioning, which is a nice slight step above pure minimalist. The only drawback of these shoes, I guess only if you have abnormalities as I do (wide forefoot), is that the upper is not very durable; but I suppose that is not to be expected given that these are designed to be racing shoes.

I really enjoy the cushioning and roomy toe box of this shoe. It is perfect for my easy distance runs. I have concerns about the durability of this shoe because it shows significant wear after 300 miles.

Overall

Best lightweight road shoe I have ever run in. Has an astonishing amount of cushioning for very little weight. I now do almost all my road miles in these. On my 6th pair. 7 and 8 waiting.
