5/5

Overall

A great all-around shoe if you are more of a 'less is more' person. The outer material of the sole is hard enough to last reasonably long but soft enough not to slip on wet roads. I have never had a problem with the uppers tearing.

Good cushioned racing flats

slowmsrunner · Jul 2, 2018

5/5

Overall

The shoes were pretty comfortable to run in, though I had to go up 1.5 sizes for my toes to fit right in them. The shoe is lightweight but feels well-cushioned, though it breaks down pretty fast like many flats. The price is also pretty low, so that's a plus. 9/10 would recommend.

Go-to racing flat for every distance.

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

5/5

Overall

A bit of rubber, a bit of foam and some laces. Nothing else needed. Responsive with just enough cushion to not tear your calves up. Stripped down, super light racing flat. Exceedingly cheap, race 5k-marathon in them. Love them to pieces. Bought 3 pairs. Yeah, they're ugly but so are most running shoes. Who cares.
