After years of pounding the pavement in featherweight racing shoes, life (and a few adorable kiddos) slowed my stride. My trusty marathon sneakers from 2021 were practically begging for retirement, so I finally laced up these support shoes, my first foray into the world of grown-up, responsible running footwear. I braced for bricks on my feet, but surprise! These shoes deliver all the comfort and support I could hope for, minus the concrete boots feeling. Bonus points for the laces, which have just the right amount of stretch. My feet tend to balloon in the Midwestern summer heat, and these laces adapt like champs, sparing me from mid-run foot squeezes. Even with the darker colorway, my toes didn’t roast, just cool, dry comfort from start to finish. All in all, these shoes have turned my runs from “I guess I should...” to “I can’t wait!” If you’re looking for support without the slog, these are your new daily drivers. Highly recommend!
