Feels a dream on feet
5/5
Overall
Running in this shoe is going back to the true definition of a racing flat. The drop is minimal and your feet feels like it’s in control and knows what it’s doing. With each step there’s ground contact feedback but still feel cushioned by the quick strike in the heel to mid foot area.
As you step on to the forefoot and stay there that’s where the magic happen. Somehow the Takumi Sen’s pod of boost in the forefoot gives sufficient push off/spring in your stride. It just gives you the incentive to push the extra mile.
Overall I think that this shoe is a dream on feet. It provides all that a shoe needs to provide and elevates the experience with superior lockdown, boost comfort and the cushioning for everyday running at high paces.
As much as I praise the Takumi Sen, there are some caveats to my review.
Not everyone is suited for this style of shoe.
As a hyper-minimalist design, it strips the shoe down to its bare components and straps it to your feet. This means that “arch support” or “large cushioning” is thrown out the window. Those with knee conditions and or prone to ankle injuries (like me) should opt to use your own personal insoles instead.
