Highlights
Quality
Held back my 5th star because i do feel they are definitely made with cheaper materials.
Very durable, you can put a lot of good miles on these shoes.
These would be fine if they did - the collar is padded and soft… sometimes, with a low cut collar like that, the heel will slip... Read More
I tried bending them back and forth to make them a bit more limber, but they still thwack like crazy, even after about 50 miles of walking.
Price
Great shoe for the price if you want a gym shoe or one for walking around.
I expect that with anything under about $70 anymore… these are holding up very nicely.
Shipping
The delivery not so much usps messed up and sent it out with another mail carrier instead of my regular one.
Competitiveness
Almost as durable as nb and almost as cushiony as hoka at a much more affordable price.
I've spent more money on shoes before and had them the same amount of time and seen the wear & tear be so bad by comparison.
A greater concern is the seeming lack of arch support, compared to the gel venture 7’s, which translates into big toe pain for me.
The graphite grey/faded yellow color combo looks terrific imo, and i was hoping they’d offer the same satisfaction as the gel venture 7’s.
