Great so far! Ignore the bad reviews, try it yourself

First opinion is great. Looks great. No visible defects. Great fit. I'm usually an EE width and the standard shoes are too narrow, but these not so wide fit perfectly. Strictly speaking, these are not running shows. I was just looking for nice, cheap and comfortable casual shoes. I think I found her. I read the bad reviews and came to the conclusion that most of the bad reviews come from people who expect to get $150 shoes for $50 and get mad at the world and then use this forum to express…

A hole has formed after 53 easy miles

I have been walking the road for several years now. I track how many miles I run in my shoes before they need to be replaced. These shoes were my lowest mileage shoes ever! (for 97 miles!) They only covered 53 miles total. Those miles are soft paved roads, dry weather, always wear Darn Tough socks, and change shoes every day so they're never worn for days.

At first I thought they were inflexible and heavy. After a good break, they just look amazing and…

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • Hard to say

First off, this is primarily a trail running shoe. If you walk the streets a lot, look elsewhere. Second: fantastic shoes. I couldn't believe the quality for the money I paid for it. Top quality. I run 10km on the road every day and after reading the many reviews on this and other websites about this shoe and the numerous people who use it for road running, I decided to bite into it. I'm on a tight budget and this time of year it's hard to find street shoes for less than a hundred dollars…
