Best Shoe I Have Ever Run In

5/5

Overall

Very comfortable shoe despite minimal cushioning. The design absorbs much of the impact, without excessive, clunky cushioning material. I have a narrow foot, and the fit is perfect for me. I am a supinator and wear out the outside heel of the sole very quickly. These shoes last far longer than any other shoe I have tried. Overall, a great shoe for me.
