Poor man's Lunaracer

batkinson · Feb 7, 2018

4/5

Overall

Kind of similar to the lunaracer in that it is a light, fast feeling cushiony shoe, but it's not as good or durable as the Lunaracer. Mine started falling apart around 300 miles, the rubber soles just disappeared.

Poor Man's Lunaracer

batkinson · Jan 8, 2018

4/5

Overall

This shoe was surprisingly comfortable, soft, low profile and somewhat fast feeling. It also feels a little cheap and does wear down quickly. The feel reminds me a bit of the lunaracer -- cushy but still kind of fast.

5/5

Overall

Very soft landing shoe, feels very cushy on my feet yet extremely light weight. I can tell a difference in my knees as they don't seem to take as much shock as compared to my old shoes.
