Review on Thunder Men's Athletic Shoes: New Balance Minimus Trainer for Enhanced Performance by Reza Shoecraft

Revainrating 3 out of 5

"Burrito talk " isn't my type; not advertised: Salon "Cat's Tongue "

Returned. The fit seems good until I get up and try to walk (rumor has it people do that with shoes from time to time). Yes, it offers a "locked" fit, but so "locked" that I can't comfortably flex my foot through my normal range of motion. There's a reason the shoe's tongue design hasn't changed much (materials aside). , and maybe that little shoelace tongue in the middle) since the invention of shoelaces. In my opinion, "burrito language" belongs in the same category of "innovation" as New Coke and Ford Edsel, and will hopefully meet the same fate. As far as I can tell, the only benefit of this "feature" is the lower cost of production (fewer cuts of fabric, less stitching). Cat language, which, unlike "burrito language", is not advertised. This makes socks mandatory to make them look less like "barefoot" or "minimal" shoes. The sole does not appear to be wider than normal shoes.

Pros
  • I love the shoes, the language is a bit strange but these are great training shoes, use them for lifting weights and for carrying.
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for lateral movements
