Pros

The one reviewer so far, whose foot collapses into the arch, calls the support amazing and credits it with staying injury free.
That reviewer rates cushioning and durability 5 out of 5.

Cons

Appearance draws 1 out of 5 in the single review so far, and that reviewer says they look awful and sound clunky.
At 13.1 oz in the men's build and 11.9 oz in the women's it is one of the heaviest shoes we list.

4/5

Overall

A great show for me as I need slot of arch support as my foot completely collapses into the Arch. They look awful and sound clunky and heavy but they are brilliant. Support is amazing. Could be a little more comfortable internally but overall a great trainer and has ensured I have stayed injury free.
