When I opened the box, I was disappointed. They seemed light and less durable. Time will tell, but once I put them on, I loved the lightness combined with the sturdiness. It is a rare and good combination. Too soon to say how durable they will be but so far I find them to be very comfortable and able to stand up to rougher terrain. Even used them on a bike ride and they grip the pedals and provide good solid support.
Very comfortable running shoe with exceptional support. Only issue I have with the shoe are the length of the laces which are shorter than I prefer and don’t give enough length to tie a good knot. As I’ve said the comfort is great for even wearing all day.
I also was a bit unimpressed on immediate first impression, but decided to put them on and really give them a try. They are very comfortable, and after putting probably over 20 miles of walking/running, I have found they are now my go to shoe. I love wearing them to the gym, or jogging around the neighborhood. I wouldn't send them back just based on their weight alone, shoe tech I guess has come a long way.
These trail runners seem nice enough, lightweight and fairly well made. But I can't comment much on their quality because the sizing was off for me. I always wear a 9, and these are definitely too small. Unfortunately, I was leaving on a trip and convinced myself they'd fit well enough, so I wound up wearing them several times before deciding they didn't fit, and now I can't return them.
Very lightweight with good cushion. However the tongue ripped after just a handful of runs. I’m returning them.
These really are uncomfortable. I have taken a size 10 for my entire life and hardly ever have an issue. I’m going to bear with these but wish I tried them on in store.
Poor Build, bought these for a trip in NY NY to help walk around the city. had to make repairs immediately, after the first day. The tongue is a two piece design that is only attached via the skin, no stitching to be found. overall, the sole tread is too thin and wears out quickly, the light weight is a plus, but it is terribly constructed.
I ordered online. Upon arrival I opened book took one look and returned them so cheap
Very unhappy with these. Sole makes you feel every rock and tree root. Flimsy upper shaved weight but provides almost no support. Sole doesn’t grip the trails. Only positive is they are true to size. Don’t waste your money even at half off.
More like good for walking around the house shoes to me. I'm not sure how long they will last. Although it is good for them to be light I think more like flimsy. I don't feel it has very much cushioning.
