Review on RETRO BLUE Breathable Sneakers Numeric_10 by Bruno Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for weightlifting in the gym

Mixed feelings. First, they fit great (after installing insoles with better arch support, but that's typical of most shoes on my feet). Most new shoes required lacing to achieve the perfect fit between tight and loose. The shoes look amazing and stylish (my girlfriend calls them Halloween shoes because of the color haha) Great for weightlifting at the gym or short trips to the store. boooot. Walked a mile and the flaws became apparent. I live in a hilly area and walking up and especially down the hills I could feel my feet slipping and slipping. The shoe is the right size for my foot, but the problem is that the elastic material of the shoe shifts when it is attached to the sole. This eventually leads to discomfort and fatigue when walking long distances. Running is out of the question. Second, the soles appear to be higher than my regular running shoes, giving them a chunky "moon shoe" feel. Although they might give me a slight increase in height which I can't complain about I guess. It's just a weird adjustment. For me, those would be pure sneakers.

Pros
  • Clothing, shoes and jewelry
Cons
