Comfortable

Anonymous runner · Jul 19, 2019

5/5

Overall

By far this has been the most comfortable track shoe I have ever run in. The cushioning is stunning, and has brought a bit more speed to my runs. I know it'll be time for some new inserts soon since I have run in it quite a bit, but I'll be keeping this shoe for a long time to come.
