Review on Ultimate Performance: Women's Intent XT Running Chrome Shoes by Kevin Woods

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as comfortable or fitting as the Endure XT2

I bought these to replace a worn out pair of Ryka Endure XT-2s that are no longer made. I was so disappointed. I've been wearing them for my daily commute for a few months now and the Intent just doesn't fit as well as the Endure which is a Ryka replacement. The shoe seems to have more volume overall and my feet have way too much room and definitely not much lateral support. Also, the arch support is nowhere near what I experienced on the Endure. The leather doesn't look as high quality as on the Endure. I need really strong arch support, which I had with the Endure, but the Intent footbed and sidewalls fall short. I am sad that they are not as functional and comfortable as the previous model they replaced. Buying expensive running shoes wasn't enough - it looks like I'll have to spend a million dollars on third-party insoles to get the support I need.

Pros
  • Precise Return Insole
Cons
  • Upgradeable
