Great shoe

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

5/5

Overall

Great shoe, but... it's a little annoying how the foam is on the bottom of the shoe, it's got lots of slits in it that collect rocks, wood chips, whatever can fit in them. There are times it becomes a bother and you have to actually stop to pick it out.
