Pros

Expensive, clunky, slow and uncomfortable - whats the point?

1/5

Overall

This shoe feels heavy, clunky and slow. I bought this thinking it fit into my shoe rotation as a faster tempo run type shoe. Instead it feels heaving and slow, on top of that their is no cushion so my feet and legs hurt if I run in this shoe multiple days in a row. The knit upper mesh is comfy and hugs my foot and the shoe look good. But I can't figure out the point of this shoe... its expensive, slow, heavy and has no cushioning. It's like the exact opposite of a dream shoe, it is a nightmare shoe. I genuinely do not enjoy wearing the shoe.
