Pros & Cons
Pros
Shoe is very comfortable and spacious. Runs small, but very comfortable. But shoes take a beating when you run in them.
Toe box is wide enough for metatarsals to splay. Light and have adequate cushioning. Plenty of cushion but not a max cushion like the paradigm.
Cons
The toe box is too small and the sole is much more rigid. The left shoe has an odd bend at the ball of the foot that rubs and causes a blister. I hate the new hard material that wraps around the toe!
Highlights
Quality
These are the only shoes my husband can wear with his bad knees - huge improvement in pain level and ease in movement!
Great shoes, really tough, light, and comfortable.
After spending 35 years standing and walking on concrete, i have mid-foot and knee arthritis and both ache unless i take nsaids... Read More
Use goop glue (marketed for different uses, but it's all the same stuff), a flexible, permanent glue.
Price
I’ll buy another pair in 9 months or so if they are on sale.
Packaging/appearance
Pros:- open box is great for the feet; feet don't feel cramped, which helps with posture, conditioning, etc.
The wide toe box ordered a size bigger to make sure foot had room and wasnt cramped.
All these colors look silly to me--some very pretty, but all silly for grown men to be wearing.
Competitiveness
This led me on the internet to naturally shaped shoes, which led me to topo and ultimately altra.
I’ve run in a lot of different styles over the years from asics to brooks and even newtons.
I’ll never buy a different brand of shoe.
Usually fits 10 m for all other brandsmaybe consider buying 1/2 larger than usual size.
