Review on πŸ‘Ÿ TSLA Men's Trail Running Shoes - Lightweight Athletic Zero Drop Barefoot Shoes for Non-Slip Outdoor Walking - Minimalist Design by Jon Higdem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good shoes, excellent value for money.

This is great value for a minimal shoe. Great sneakers for the gym or the dry pavement. But beware of the size. While other shoes like the New Balance or Merrell are better constructed, this is a truly minimalist shoe that offers good value for those who want to start with minimal running without breaking the bank. I've been running in minimal shoes for over 5 seconds and prefer the New Balance Minimus. I also use 5 finger vibrams and was curious about shoes that cost less than $30. I can say that the shoes I ordered worked properly, a little bit more. After reading reviews that suggested ordering a size up, I ordered a 9 even though I wear an 8.5. This show really gives me enough room on the left side of the sock. However, this was not a problem as the tread covered the toe of the shoe. If you order your exact size with them, be prepared for the tread material to sit directly over your big toe, which may rub or pinch your big toe if you order the exact size. I personally wouldn't like it. The rest of the shoe construction is ok. The sole is sewn to the upper, not just glued. The sole is flat with a fairly stubborn tread. I run great on a treadmill, concrete or pavement. The grass was a bit slippery and definitely wet grass (dew). I would not recommend this for obstacle courses or real trail running as the profile is flat and not typical "trail" shoe profiles. The material of the shoe is also breathable and not an open fabric. So I don't think the water will drain well. But it also doesn't penetrate easily.
