Great shoe for those with wide feet
Anonymous runner · Aug 9, 2019
5/5
Overall
Good and wide with a very deep toe box that has softer uppers than previous Dyads. I can get my bulky orthotics and steel plates and my wide feet with their bunions and hammer toes and crossover toes into the XX width of these shoes with no orobkems. The softer uppers help a lot when your feet are as curvaceous as mine! The sole is fairly stiff but could be stiffer. But it's stiffer than the sole of the New Balance v340, which caters to pretty much the same market.
This shoe is a return to the niche the Dyad 8 served. The Dyad 9 was a disaster if you had wide feet or needed orthotics.
My only wish is for a stiffer sole.
