Comfort:
I found these shoes to be extremely comfortable to wear. As previously mentioned, they are suitable for all terrain types. The mesh material on the inside of the shoes didn’t cause any blisters when running and the overall effect was comfortable.
Weight:
Weighing only 235 grams, these shoes made running feel so effortless and enjoyable. It is easy to forget that you are wearing the shoes with such and secure and comfortable fit.
Breathability:
With the small holes on the outside of the shoes, air could get into the shoes easily and this prevented sweat quite well. At the same time, outside water was kept out well and it didn’t let the cold air in. Overall, the balance created was optimum. This made the shoes a pleasure to wear in the sun and in the cold and rain.
Materials:
As these shoes aren’t exactly low or mid range, obviously high quality materials have been used in the production of these shoes. One useful feature is the anti-blister material which works extremely well. I also found the padded area located around the ankle which made for added comfort.
Laces:
The laces provided are extremely comfortable and the perfect material for laces. They spread out evenly across the surface of the top of the shoe. This makes the shoes fit extremely securely and efficiently in the best way possible.
