Zero Running Support

They fit well - I'm using them for my indoor triathlon this winter as they have so many holes they dry out quickly! Not much support but I use the Nike Free RN for outdoor training so I'm used to the natural ride.

Pros
  • Stack Height: 15mm
Cons
  • Sad Equipment

There is something in there.

I love this barefoot exercise idea and these shoes definitely change your body alignment to a more balanced position, at least for me. I started to get used to it, wore it several hours a day when I was working out and running errands, and now I practically live in it.

Pros
  • Insole: 5mm Molded insole
Cons
  • Can't remember

Better than expected!

Very light but why not! I can never find the right size but this pair still fits well. Super comfortable sock, slightly higher than normal ankle (actually I would have liked to have cut it in half) but it didn't bother my Achilles tendon so everything is fine. Very light, well made. I would recommend.

Pros
  • Midsole: Max-LT
Cons
  • ---

Small for altras, big for the lawn!

Great turf running shoe. I love light, knitted tops. Disappointed with the return. Contrary to the reviews here, they are not overly large. I wore Altras and was going to order a 10.5 but ordered a 10 on Amazon's recommendation. On the 10th I put my toes on the toes of my boot. Back to 10.5.

Pros
  • Upper: Open Mesh
Cons
  • Very Expensive

No eyelets for laces

If you like fishnet shoes then this is the shoe for you. Very comfortable and probably great for running on very warm days. This shoe does not have special eyelets for laces. The laces could be threaded through any hole in the mesh. Not for me. I'm sure the mesh will soften over time, but it "scratches" a bit and reminds me of making a sturdy grocery bag. Like Altra shoes, but this shoe is back.

Pros
  • Sole: Rubber
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised

The best shoes I've ever raced in.

Ideal for weekend warriors, track/cross country runners or sprint triathletes. Received a few days before my last sprint triathlon and they did NOT disappoint! Perfect fit, wide toe box, super comfortable with or without socks and incredible grip. Made very quick transitions (T) barefoot between T1 (swimming in bike shoes) and T2 (bike shoes in these shoes) for the final event. I absolutely love them and will buy them again! Worth every penny.

Pros
  • Weight: 5.5 oz / 155 g
Cons
  • Requires outlet
