Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ PEAK Taichi Men's Lightweight Running Shoes - Enhanced Comfort with EGGII Cushioning for Casual Workout, Fitness, and More by Brett Gilbert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks good and comfortable but definitely NOT a running shoe

Pros: These shoes look good and fit great. Fits as expected, shoes are light and very comfortable for standing or walking. The Bad: It's definitely NOT a good running shoe, which is why I bought it. The sidewall material is stretchy and comfortable, but not strong enough or stiff enough to prevent the foot from sliding sideways when pivoting. On top of that, the cushioning sole is thick but high, which means you're more likely to twist your ankle with the shoe on than without it. Also, the insole is stiff without much arch support, so short runs can be fine, but anything longer than 4-5 miles gets uncomfortable pretty quickly.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Protection
