Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The mesh keeps my feet cooler in the summer. If you run through wet creek beds, these are excellent at helping your feet get dry. I remember when sneakers were $20) and if i don't wear the same sneakers every day maybe they will last longer.

The most important thing about the shoes is that they are in fact a wide width. The shoe label actually says 4e which is even wider than i expected.

These are good trail running shoes for well groomed and maintained trails. Ohh the only negative is the laces loosen up on their own.



Cons

The lettering is in silver rather than white. My guess is that the cargo in the plane temp got too hot and softened the insole plastic. I believe these are faulty/secondstring/bad ones that should never have been sold.

The heel and toe box are so stiff my nails felt like they were going to come off and my achilles and heel were in agony. The toe box is super stiff and the sole felt pretty weird when just walking.

Highlights

Quality


Lightweight and the sole is well balanced.


New balances are known for being comfortable and long lasting.


The shoe label actually says 4e which is even wider than i expected with an "extra-wide" description.


I tend to go through a pair of shoes about every 4-5 months, that's why i buy trail running shoes.

Price


I got them for under $60 which seems like a good value.


I usually spend an additional $60+ for inserts, but these are comfortable enough without them.


Everyone seems to be wearing hokua walking shoes, but i can’t stomach nearly $200 for a pair of shoes.

Packaging/appearance


The boxes came beat to hell wrapped in a rubber band…but the shoes are awesome!


The gray version i received has a "closed mesh" plastic upper.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I ordered a size 10 4e since i wanted to put in thicker insoles as the insoles that come with the shoes are too thin and offer little to no support
