Bought these Goretex running trainers so I don't get wet feet when running to work and having to wear soggy socks all day. However, on my second run in them, when the rain was heavier, I ended up with wet socks. Admittedly they are more waterproof than my normal Fresh Fiam trainers but the Goretex ones are more showeproof than waterproof. If you accidentally step in a puddle, you’ll definitely have wet feet
These are great for people with flat feet but wants something with a bit of bounce but not too much. It’s stable and doesn’t make my back and ankles hurt at the end of the day. It’s also goretex so it’s great when you work in healthcare like me. I can wipe off stuff easily. As long as it’s clear liquid if it’s colored I suggest use a soft brush and water asap.
I was excited to receive these and feel the cushioning is great as well as the water resistance but unfortunately I feel the pair I received are faulty as the left shoe seems to tilt inwards and has caused me ankle and hip pain. This is unusual as I’ve owned 5 pairs of 880s previously and haven’t had this issue. Quite frustrating when spending so much.
Super comfortable, good color but they did get dirty my first time wearing them for a walk around the neighborhood. I would have thought the goretex material would have stayed clean longer. Probably would have just gotten a regular one so I could choose a color if I knew they’d get just as dirty. Overall much comfier than my ON running cloudmonsters
Really nice trainers. Due to issues with my feet I ordered a wide fit however they were too wide and slipping off my feet so I ordered the regular which fit much better. I tried all different trainers and brands and this is the only one I like and I needed waterproof which seem hard and narrow but these trainers don’t.
I'm fairly new to running and bought this as a winter runner. It's very comfortable to run in and keeps my feet dry from slush and snow. I haven't slipped so far after a month of winter runs. The only possible issue is that your feet might get too warm sometimes and sweat might accumulate inside the shoe.
The shoes have an awkward shape to them where there isn’t enough drop from the heel to toe. Sometimes I feel like my toes are above my heels and my shins hurt! It messes with my posture too. Bad design.
I am really happy with these sneakers. I got the wide shoe in a 10.5 and it is very comfy. Definitely waterproof and slip resistant. I honestly wear them to work some days because they are very comfy.
Comfortable and most importantly keeps my feet dry during my winter and rainy runs. Would love more to see more reflective elements and other color ways!
these are exactly what I was looking for - dry and warm all winter long with a comfy road shoe that doesn’t irritate the tailors bunion. Huge fan.
