Review on TSLA Performance Lightweight Breathable Sneakers by Dave Giri

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great lightweight running shoe for forefoot or midfoot but.

Great lightweight forefoot or midfoot shoe, but the manufacturer seems to be playing some games. When I click on my previous order to order another pair of the same shoes (blue 700) I go to the page but the shoes on that page are now all laceless, not sneakers. That's a big no by Revain rules, meaning you can't keep the same Revain product number, you can replace the actual product with something else. After searching I found a shoe from TSLA that looks like a blue 700 but is now called the 702. Also, they seem to only have a few rear sizes so I suspect they are phasing out these shoes. Too bad. It was and still is a great shoe for mid and forefoot runners. By that I mean that it has very little heel strike support. If you walk in them with your heel, everything is fine, but they become soft and unstable. I really like the outsole pattern in these 700/702 shoes. They seem very similar to the Nike Free with 0.5 inch squares and deep dimples between the squares. This gives the shoe a lot of flexibility in the outsole. have much smaller indentations in the sole. Maybe it's a lawsuit from Nike? Or maybe too many people complain that the shoes don't offer enough support? ". I don't believe that at all. If I had run hundreds of miles in these shoes and found the insoles to be perfect. They hold up well and provide just the right amount of lightweight cushioning. Durable, supportive footwear, such as a slightly dated sneaker with wide sole massive arch support pronation protection all around cushioning etc this shoe is NOT for you if you want a light forefoot or midfoot runner this is great By "this one" I mean the 702 version the Nike Free sole and not newer versions with a new sole.

Pros
  • Very light and comfortable
Cons
  • May cause foot odor due to lack of ventilation
