Overall

One of the softest riding shoes I've ever worn outside of a Hoka. Only problem is that it seems to break down quickly. I started busting out of the side of the shoe and I have a narrow foot.

Overall

I run well in more minimal shoes, but the Solana has just enough cushion to give me some extra bounce in my stride. Great looking shoe.
