Most comfy shoe I own

Paul Moore · Jul 7, 2023

4/5

Overall

I am pretty injury prone and there are not a lot of shoes I can run in without having some kind of issue. The fresh foam more from NB is an exception! I’ve been running in these shoes for 2 years and haven’t had a shoe related injury since I hopped in them.
