Don't get this version, get Pure

So I bought this version to make sure I didn't miss anything. I will probably buy another pair in about 6 months and for that I will definitely save a few bucks and buy the Pure version. caught between your feet and the open air. If you're wearing socks, oh-ho, good luck. It's pure EVA foam, so it doesn't absorb water, it just splashes. Honestly it wasn't a problem because it can be beautiful but leaves, sand and stones? Yes, it's not good. 3) Liners are useless. Not breathing at all and stuck. Pros: 1) Surprisingly good pillow. I was afraid that 83mm of soft croc foam would be dangerous, but it's actually fun and soft at first. Mine definitely wore down quickly to the advertised 3mm minimum so they are no longer soft but I can run fast on concrete with no issues and no pain. 2) LIGHT. There doesn't seem to be anything there. Ridiculously lightweight with the liner removed.3) Stylish. I have black and white and I get lots of compliments all the time. 4) Comfortable. The wide toe box is the widest of all my running shoes, and I'm one of those minimalist running shoes that call for wide toes. I sometimes wear them to work instead of dress shoes and they go surprisingly well together. 5) I can put them on and take them off very quickly, which I really hoped would be a feature in everyday shoes, and it came true.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Functionality
