20 Best Shoes For Jump Roping (2023 Updated)

Bought these as i train Hit training and needed a better training shoe. I dont usually like to pick runners online but I took the plunge and I must say these are my best training shoe. I have had a few foot injuries and this support my feet and ankles really well.

Im really glad Ive changed to Under Armer shoes after all.

Love these! I bought them for weight lifting, cross training and HIIT. They are really comfortable and let my feet breathe. I have mild plantar fasciitis and these don’t aggravate it. Love how clean and stylish these look, too.

Bought these purely based on the reviews. I have never owned under armour shoes before and I am so glad i bought a pair. I do have wide feet and these accommodate 100%. I wear them all day at work and they are very comfortable.

Highly recommend.

I considered giving a 4 star rating, but decided that would not actually be a correct indicator of how I view this shoe. I purchased this shoe to have something to do any kind of gym workout in (think anything crossfit-esque) and they have fit that role flawlessly.

Even when I was using the removable insole, nothing really shifted. This shoe allows an amazing level of stability and rooting for your big lifts while also providing suitable traction and ground-feel for whatever conditioning you find yourself engaged in.

So what I the flaw I mentioned in the title? As far as the specific shoe goes, there isn’t one (hence the 5 stars I’m giving). The “flaw” is really one with Xero Shoes itself, but I understand why it’s there with a small shoe company.

It’s that the sizes only come in one width. If you normally order men’s sizes but have narrow feet they have the workaround of ordering from the women’s since they are constructed narrower. But those of us with wide feet, like myself who has regularly ordered 4E widths previously, don’t really have an option.

Luckily, I’m able to squeeze into the shoe and frankly I’m just glad they don’t force my toes into a bunion. Long review made short: the shoe is great but I wish Xero Shoes had a wide option.

I ordered my normal size and I think they may be too long. I have a relatively narrow heel and midfoot (wear normal width shoes) but a bony forefoot that gets pinched in some shoes. These were not too wide but the amount of space above my foot (where the shoe material gathered from tying) was not comfortable.

How open space above the foot is uncomfortable, I don’t know – maybe a mental thing. I could be more that the shoe is too long so my toes are trying to grip somewhere. My foot ends up cramping after a while.

there is also something at the big toe metatarsal that pinches or pokes as if a tiny piece of gravel is in the shoe. I took the insole out and that went away, but then the shoes is even more spacious.

I don’t like being able to feel my toe hit the end of a shoe, but I think I would like this to be shorter. I had tried to use these for zumba and my foot slid around too much in them. I will try them for some hiit workouts at home that I don’t do as much lateral motion.

For perspective on minimal shoe experience, my first experience was the famous glovelike shoes that I love. I also have another name brand minimalist shoe and a zero diy sandal. I wish it were easier to figure out if a shoe really fits before actually using it.

Next time I’ll do a few workouts on my living room rug before deciding.

The 360’s are perfect for someone looking to transition to a minimalist type of shoe. The soles on the 360 are thicker than my HFS’s, so there is a bit less ground feel. I wound up removing the insoles, because I enjoy really getting the most feedback from what I’m stepping on.

That’s why I think that someone looking to try out the whole minimalist shoe thing, would do well with the 360. You could leave the insoles in, and play with how they feel. The uppers are SUPER airy and flexible to let your toes breathe and move as they should; it feels great to have all the toebox room! Without the insoles, it’s a higher volume fit, so those with wider feet could benefit from that.

The 360 feels to me like a skate shoe, but 1000x even more comfy. Plus, I can walk miles and miles in these things, and my feet still feel fresh. If you’re looking for the perfect all-around casual shoe that still gives you good performance, the 360 is worth a look.

I’ve worn other minimalist shoe brands, and xero seems to have the ultimate lineup.

Picture shows the black and purple ones but I bought the gray ones. Shoes look alot better in person than in the pictures. Comfortable to wear and stable enough for powerlifts like squats and deadlifts.

Would recommend. Website was easy to navigate and just as easy to checkout. Shipping was faster than expected. Overall great experience.

I was sent a pair of pre-worn/used shoes. The tissue that is stuffed inside the shoe and nicely wrapped around the shoes inside the box were are ripped and crumpled like someone had already gone through this pair.

The laces were already put on and there’s a smudge/scuff mark on the the heel of the right shoe. Clearly, WIT sent me a returned pair of shoes. I emailed WIT describing the situation and what if any remedies they could offer, and.

crickets. No one has reached out to me.

I a few Metcon’s and like them, because it’s always very comfortable for training and it looks good. It didn’t fail me this time also. I love them. Size is as all my other Nike trainers.

I was looking for the most cushioned shoe you can get. This is it. You can feel the squish right away. That comes with stability tradeoffs but if you don’t want a high stack shoe with squish, you have plenty of other choices.

So kuddos to Nike for taking cushion to the max. Given that this is the most max cushioned shoe available, my only gripe is it doesn’t take it far enough. Why not just go extreme in setting the bar? When you run in these, as opposed to walking, I wouldn’t say you feel like running on clouds or marshmallows–you still have a jolt of a foot strike and “bounce” (which I find overrated as I don’t see the point of bounce when I initially strike as opposed to energy release as I push off my foot to spring me forward).

So I guess I’m just complaining that they are a functional running shoe that offers “responsiveness”. They are as close as you can find to “moon shoes” but not really there. I’d ask Nike to just take it further.

It will be too much for many, but why not offer something just off the charts in terms of softness tailored for heel strike walking. Like if I wanted to reduce the impact on my knees and hips and even neck and head from walking or running — akin to running on a springy treadmill or rubberized track — give me an option to prevent that wear and tear.

This is the best on the market but still I think the technology is there to make it even softer, squishier, more “deflation” at the strike. Like a spring that collapses on strike and releases when you push off I suppose.

Bottom line: these are great cushion but not insane. (these fit like all Nike running shoes–run 1 size larger than Brannock).

I’ve been eyeing this shoe for about a year, especially the volt colorway and when I went to the employee store and saw them sitting, it was a no brainer. Previously I have been running with the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 for about a year and have finally beat them up quite a bit.

The first few runs I hated how plushy it was, definitely something to get used to at first. However, after maybe 20 miles running with the shoes I finally began to love them. They’re amazing for long runs and the plush helps tremendously, and the energy return with every stride is one of the best things about shoe.

Some cons about the shoe is that some of the rubber on the soles is starting to wear off after 65 miles with them but not enough to say that is have been affecting my runs. Also the laces are too short, which makes me not being able to tie them fully.

Luckily my size 9 fits just right and holds me in place with a little toe room in the front while still maintaining me stable on the heel. Overall, this is an amazing shoe. I would highly recommend it for anyone that would want to progress into NIke’s high tier running shoes if you’re coming from the middle tier.

Soft and bouncy are two words that best summarize my experience in the Invincible run. I find this shoe to be perfect for my easier runs, averaging anywhere between 8min/mile and 9min/mile. I do not feel this shoe is a good option for faster running (intervals, for example) given the softness and large midsole volume.

I find myself consistently running about 15 seconds/mile faster than my effort suggests. Legs and joints feel well protected the entire time. I am a big fan of the Infinity Run (another great daily trainer), and feel the grip on the Invincible is noticeably better on slick surfaces.

In my experience, this shoe definitely rewards a mid-foot striker and good running form. There is a noticeable “sweet spot” where the shoe seems to be providing the most rebound. Outside for this zone, the softness is still there, but the rebound seems significantly reduced.

Overall, this is a unique shoe in the best possible way. I would not want it as my only shoe, but when combined with other shoes like the Pegasus and Vaporfly, I think it makes a really nice addition to a running shoe inventory.

If you’re unsure about weather or not to get a vibrams; I can honestly promise you that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I know that the shoes are definitely an acquired taste, but under all that ugliness is an amazing shoe that can do amazing things.

I feel so planted in these it’s insane. For me, because the sole is flat, standing up straight is way easier and not painful. Yes, they do feel weird at first but honestly they’re so light you feel like your walking barefoot and forget you have them on in like 5 minutes.

If you do decide to get a pair do not hate the stares, they’re just jealous they can’t both look good and have healthy feet.

This shoe is dope. I love all 5 pairs I have (13W0201 – black, 14W0701 – black, 20W7701 black, 20W7704 – black/green, & 20M7703 – black/blue). First, what I’ve come to notice is that sizing is unisex, unlike the US; I wear an 8.

5-9 in women’s and 6. 5-7 in men’s. So, when I got the men’s pair I got the EU equivalent to the US size I wear in men’s. However, that size was so small I couldn’t fit my foot inside, the next size up (EU40 fits but snug on my pinky toe, with some discomfort after prolonged wear); I’ve learned that I am most comfortable in a EU41 in both the men’s and women’s sizes.

I don’t have a bunion, but I have pain in both feet in the area that people get bunions, as a preventative measure, I wear the FiveFingers shoes when working, walking, sometimes running, and especially when I have to be on my feet for a long time, and/or when already having foot pain.

First of all I used to wear orthotics – basically I had these insoles that had a bump the size of a golf ball cut in half on my arch. Wore those for 2 years – moving them from shoe to shoe for LIFE! Then I heard about these shoes from my son who has messed up toes.

so i bought some grey vibrams from him as not everyone has toes the same length. So that was almost 5 years ago, ask me where my orthotics are? I don’t know where i put them. Now keep in mind that your feet get stronger, calves and your feet actually strengthen and shrink a wee bit once your feet are strong again.

Now I do wear certain conventional shoes when i do not know what i am running on but my vibrams are always with me. Always.

This is my second pair of nobull shoes and found same issues. Let it go first time around as i bought other brand shoes for my workout and used nobull’s for summer wear for neighborhood strolls. The laces come off when doing double unders, box jumps, etc.

, interrupting the flow. The sole doesn’t have a any cushion as i found with my other shoes which has slight cushion works much better with aerobatics; without any sacrifice while weightlifting. More importantly, i’m saving my knees in long run with the slight cushion.

The shoes are super expensive for what it offers in terms of design and usability (I worked in fashion industry for 5 years so i know how much it costs to make these shoes and more importantly fashion aspect of it).

I’m returning my pair tomorrow, already worked with CS rep to get return label, etc. , Disappointed and will not buy again, though i like the business model and the ardent fans who love the shoes.

These shoes are comfortable and versatile. Currently I am in a high intensity federal academy and decided I was going to put them to the test as my main piece of footwear while I’m here. This includes long and short runs, intermittent high intensity workouts on dirt, pavement and any other type of ground we can find, and standing on hard surfaces for long periods of time like a concrete pistol range.

So far they have been working out well for me, but I have noticed after about 2 months they are starting to fall apart at the sole and the seams. While, in this environment it is expected for a shorter life span on a shoe, I do have class mates who went with other brands that seem to be holding up better.

But with that said, I am very happy with the support and comfort of the Ripstop and in the future will continue to use them for a gym show. However, for this type of an environment a more tactical shoe is needed.

Second pair for me, after I wore my previous ones heavily for several years and the wear-and-tear finally started to show. They held up better than any pair of shoes has a right to. Your shoes are very well made, fit well initially and improve significantly over time as the sole conforms to my foot.

I bought my cross trainers originally for weight lifting, after a recommendation from Reddit based on their sturdy base and lack of a heel drop. Ultimately they became my daily go-to shoes for walking my dogs, running errands, pretty much everything other than running (they are cross trainers and this model just isn’t designed for that).

I love these shoes to death, and would recommend them to anybody. The quality is superb, they look great, and the generous discount for military and emergency responders is icing on the cake (I’d pay full price if I had to, they’re worth every penny).

Bought a pair for my wife as well and she loves them as well.

very comfortable, low to the ground profile and wide, including the toe box. for the other reviews saying “to half a size up” i have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. i listened to “them” and went one half size up, and they are wayyyyy too BIG.

i would say order your regular size UNLESS you have weird feet like the original reviewers saying to half a size up. also, very light weight. i agree thought the swoosh is a bit too big and they could have made the out soles a bit more shiny ( like the air 270) other than that, no complaints.

i will update on the durability as i just wore them today.

These are seriously great. Haven’t run in them yet but were much springier and less smushy than my 5s (hadn’t seen a 6 color in women’s that I liked yet). Nike PLEASE keep making “mens” colors in small sizes- they are always SO much better than the women’s colors! In my older metcons I wore a women’s 6.

5 (my shoe size is measured as a 6 C, so it is wide at the front, but with a regular/more narrow heel) , and same as the 5 I bought both 6. 5 and 7 but went with the 7 both times. Aka I think they run slightly too narrow for a wide foot to get your true size.

Have yet to see about durability- my 5s the fabric around the shoe collar ripped after two days but held up otherwise, hopefully this is better. We own a CrossFit Affiliate so these are flexible enough to work out in but still keep on for coaching.

Interested to see how they are for running as the shoe itself is much more flexible however the insert is very solid in the center to prevent too much mushing of the shoe it seems like.

I originally bought the Metcons but did not like them. They were too stiff. These shoes have the right balance between stability and flexibility. I feel great lifting with these on and I can easily jump on the treadmill and comfortably run with these.

I bought two pairs and I wish I could buy more. I hope these are not being discontinued. The only thing I would probably change would be breathability. I do feel that my feet get slightly sweatier in these than usual.

Fix that and you have the perfect shoe!.

My son has been wearing the Nike Renew Retaliation shoes since we got them. He absolutely loves the color combination of black, red, and white and comes with black laces that stay lace during the day.

I was worried that the shoe would be narrow but it has the perfect amount of toe room and provides some great arch support. My son says that the shoes feel like walking on clouds and you can even see how the foam provides bounce and cushioning by pressing the insole.

The second day he wear the shoes, he went for a run in a rainy day and he mentioned that the traction of the shoe was very good, felt secured while running and the extra cushion not only provided good support but he felt less tired.

The shoe are true to size, breathable and light, great qualities. The design is modern and sleek allowing room for the feet. The shoe is perfect for everyday use, and creates a stylish look you can match with different clothes.

The only con is that the white sole gets dirty but is expected. Overall we are happy with the shoes performance, the quality and the look of it. Try this shoes if you are looking for a comfortable and reliable sneaker.

My new Nike Renew Retaliation training shoes fit great. I have a higher arch, broad bridge, and a smaller heel and these shoes feel amazing straight out of the box. I have done a number of short runs in them and also done some indoor fitness training and they have served me well in both circumstances.

One thing that I noticed when I first put the shoes on was the unique strap that’s connected to the tongue on each side of the shoe. After looking into the shoe more I realized that there is an inner layer that hugs my foot when laced up – Great design idea! I am always in search of a shoe with good support and a build that keeps me from over-pronating – which the Nike Renew hits the mark on both.

I like the black on red color scheme, the red is just enough color to give the shoes some flavor and they are neutral enough to go with just about anything I wear.

I love these sneakers! They are super comfortable and look nice on my feet. They don’t make my feet look too big. I say they run true to size as I am normally a size 7-7 1/2 in all shoes. I almost purchased a 7 1/2 but now I’m so glad I didn’t because they would definitely have been much too large so I would say order your exact size remembering that they do run a bit large.

For reference I wear a size 8. 5 in The North Face Vectiv sneakers. If I had gotten a size 8. 5 in these I would have been sending them back. They feel very cushiony but supportive on my feet all day, I am a kindergarten teacher assistant and am on my feet moving around all day long.

I have bad ankles and feet, (I am 5’3 165lbs) normally my heels hurt terribly and my feet just ache all over by the end of the day, and especially over the tops of my feet, ankles, and heels but with these shoes I am comfortable with very minor aching feet, if at all.

They are cushiony but still have a medium arch support (I have very high arches). I tried replacing the insoles with some I already have that work for my high arches but I found that I really don’t need them as the arch support is adequate enough.

I like to leave the original insoles in new sneakers if I can so I’m not changing the flow of the actual sneaker and how it was made. I have found that if I tie them too tightly my upper feet go numb but I think that applies with most sneakers, I just thought I’d mention it.

It doesn’t happen if I tie them regularly. That being said, I am able to tie them regular tightness and they are not falling off my feet. They are not too long on the ends so I’m not tripping over my feet all day.

I get a lot of compliments on them by random strangers. They stay tied and do not come loose while I’m moving around. They are breathable on top and my feet do not sweat a lot. They are easy to clean (I got the white and black with majority of white).

Overall I’m super pleased with this purchase and I would definitely recommend them and would purchase again.

I’ve been running on Brooks Ghosts and Glycerins for 10 years. Loved em. LOVED. I recently bought a pair of Ghost 13s and they’ve been tearing up my feet–awful blisters over the Achilles even on short runs.

So I’ve been trying out other shoes to see what’s out there. Here’s my take on the Cumulus 23: Great feel right out of the box. Not that comfy glove feeling I’m used to in the Ghosts and Glycerins, and not as smooth or stable a ride as Ghosts or Glycerins, but light with good energy return.

The mesh breathes nicely. My only complaint is that there isn’t enough space around the malleoli (ankle bones). It’s subtle enough that I didn’t notice until my second outing. The first time out, I got a little numbness on my left foot like I hadn’t put my socks on right or laced up properly–couldn’t figure it out–but the second time out in the Cumulus 23s, I went for several miles.

I got the numbness again, and when I got back, I had a blister rubbed into the rear underside of my left outer ankle–right where the peroneal and sural nerves wrap around from the rear of the leg to the lateral foot.

That explained the numbness. Since it’s just one foot/shoe, it might be a issue with my anatomy or the construction of that particular shoe. but I’m gonna be using moleskin and extra cushy socks for the next few hundred miles.

and I’m still looking for a shoe that will love me like my old Ghost 11s.

This was my 5th pair of ultraboost DNA 4. 0. I finally ran out of a backup pair at home so I grabbed another one online. I had heard from others I know, as well as a lot of recent reviews that they weren’t the same.

Not that I wanted to invalidate anyone’s experience, but I understand everyone’s feet and preference are a lot different from one another. But sadly — it’s true!!!!! They are NOT the same, despite being the same shoe and serial.

They’re far more stiff, and harder on the bottom than the DNA previously were years past. They no longer have that cushy shock absorption feeling. They don’t keep the lift in the forefoot anymore when you put them on.

Barely any arch support (they’ve always been mid on arch support, but it feels even less now) and absolutely ZERO posterior stability. If you have plantar fasciitis or weak ankles, these are not for you!! In fact, my feet felt more tired by the end of the day while wearing these, and they feel more snug than before.

As reference, I am a 31 year old female, 120 lbs. I have not gained weight, changed my diet, etc – they’re just tighter and harder. I’m so sad !!!!!! These were my go-to since they first came out. Maybe they’re manufactured somewhere else or use different materials.

Whatever it is, they are not worth $180 anymore. They’ve become a premium mediocre product.

These Nike Air shoes are pretty comfortable. I have very wide feet and they fit very snug. However, I was able to adjust the laces and the velcro to be as wide as possible and somewhat comfortable. Size 10 did fit me just right length wise.

I do wear size 9 but I like to go up a size when it comes to sporting shoes. I do like the design and love the bright colors the most. The only thing I would change is the width. If they were a bit wider they would definitely be more comfortable but I think after a few wears I can get them there.

I would definitely recommend them! They’re a great pair of shoes.

I bought these for my husband as he works 12 hour shifts & most days a week. Usually he comes home with his feet killing him but since getting these shoes, he says his feet don’t hurt him at all. I have a different style myself and we both feel that when wearing no bulls, it feels like you aren’t even wearing shoes….

To say I’m impressed by their shoes is an understatement. Super comfortable and stylish. I usually never write any reviews but I just absolutely love these shoes on my husband and he’s already wanting to buy more shoes from here.

One other thing to note, I have 2 different styles of no bulls, and he has this one. ALL of the styles look brand new even after wearing them for weeks, to work, theme parks, etc. i highly recommend.

The rip stop runner is my 3rd pair of NOBULL’s I currently own. I have the knit stretch runners also. The mesh runners just aren’t it. There’s a plastic toe liner in the toe box that isn’t completely stuck with adhesive so my toes constantly catch on it.

I can’t stop heel slip without cranking down the laces insanely tight. Walking-wise, they’re quite comfortable. I’ve had them for a few weeks. Tan a bit in them, lifted in them, and just don’t care for them.

They’re fine for wearing around, just really missed the mark compared to the knit runners and trainers.

Been looking for comfortable trainers for a long time as I do a lot of walking and my normal trainers were worn out and started to hurt my feet. Since I have been wearing these, my feet don’t hurt and they are very comfortable especially with the memory foam sole.

They keep the feet warm in this cold and chilly weather. On top of all this, they are stylish and very light.

I just threw away an old pair of reebok trainers that I loved. I kept wearing them as they were so comfortable for a run but they were shamefully worn after 7 years (crikey) of hard wear. Didn’t think I could replace them but ordered these and am not disappointed.

They are nice looking, ever so comfortable and look to be great quality that will last. I had to order another pair for my sister she liked them so much.

i work as a nurse and does a 12-hour shift and these shoes are amazing. very comfortable especially with the memory foam technology that they did. will probably buy them again if I need a new pair of work shoes.

the only problem for me is that it needs more grip.

A well built, comfortable gym shoe. This is not my first pair from Iron Tanks, and it certainly won’t be the last. They are comfortable enough for my walk to the gym, and provide a great platform for squats and deadlifts.

I purchased online and the shoes fit significantly smaller than my previous 3 generations of Nike Pegasus and Vaporfly. I ended up return them. The sole is very stiff and a bit awkward to walk and move in, but I assume it would be good for weightlifting (probably not so good for any sort of cross training where you move your feet.

).

These fit great and feel better than the previous model. There’s a bit more flex in the ball of the foot compared to the 7 which is great for when your amrap includes a run. Overall love this new model and love the briny colours❤.

bought the game day royal blue from dick’s because the sloes were blue and not whit like on the Nike web site. when they cam there were blue but not the same of shown on there sites

I bought these hoping they were similar to Reebok’s discontinued Quick Motion Ladies Trainers – DV3922 but they’re unfortunately not. Despite the memory foam soles and what appears to be a thick sole they are nowhere near as cushioned underneath the foot as the Quick Motion trainers.

They also lack the superb foam cushioning on the top of the shoe and instead are like hard cardboard which cuts into the foot. Maybe they’ll soften after wearing for a while but why not make shoes with cushioning on the top as the majority of trainers have? Disappointed.

The only pluses are the pretty colour and that they are nicely spacious in the front part of the shoe.

I’ve not purchased Reeboks for a very long time but these were well priced and exactly the colour I had been looking for. Fabulous surprise when they arrived…. I just can’t believe how amazingly comfortable they were from the moment I first put them on.

It was like stepping into a pair of comfy slippers yet there is still plenty of support. Due to problems with my browser I ended up erroneously ordering twice but I think I’m now going to keep the second pair as well for when these wear out….

I just don’t think I’ll find another pair of trainers this comfortable again. Very highly recommended!.

I swear, shrinkflation is hitting shoes now too. I’m a solid 8. 5. These were like a quarter of a size too small. They felt fine when I first put them on, but within 2 hours my toes were starting to cramp up.

Had to drive 40 minutes to a Reebok store to do the return (yes, I could have done it online, but I’m a mistrusting kinda gal). Of course they didn’t have that shoe in stock at the store. Ended up getting another brand where the 8.

5 fits perfectly. I wanted to love these shoes.

First things first- the fitment of this shoe is great and I hope they don’t stop selling them any time soon. I chose these over the 510’s because the instep seems to be wider and puts less pressure on my foot(I have pretty flat/wide feet) and it feels much more comfortable overall.

About a week ago I finished up a trail ride and left my shoes on the roof of my car when I was putting away my gear. Absentmindedly I forgot they were on top of the car and drove off. A few miles down the busiest road in my city I heard a clunk and didn’t think anything of it-until I pulled up to a stop light and the driver next to me motioned to roll my window down.

“There’s a shoe on your roof. ” Panic ensued. I quickly stopped and retrieved the lone shoe from my room. I chalked it up to a loss, disappointed, but hey, who wouldn’t be excited to replace them with a brand new pair? Several hours passed and I went about my day until it came time to drive back home.

I thought to myself, “well heck, maybe I can still find the remnants of the shoe and can properly dispose of them. ” I drove past the spot of the clunk and no more than a few yards away I spotted it- the prodigal brother to the shoe sitting in my passenger seat.

I pulled over into a parking lot and ran over to the shoe. Upon inspection I saw in amazement the shoe was almost as in good condition as when it had taken its fateful fall. The heal counter was slightly bent, likely from being run over a handful of times, but was otherwise a completely intact and rideable shoe.

I’m still looking forward to new shoe day but that day won’t be as soon as I had thought. Thanks for making such a durable shoe, Specialized. Also lesson learned: don’t forget your shoes on the roof.

All I can say is wow! I got my pair used because I was hesitant to buy a shoe that was relatively new to the market. The pair I found on a gear trading website was clearly riden hard with marks on the soles.

The insoles were untouched, however, and when I tried them I was shocked at how well they fit my arch. No idea why the original owner didn’t use them. Whatever, I thought, for half off I don’t mind a few cosmetic scratches and I’m sure I’ll be able to judge the grippiness even with evidence of hard use.

Well, if they are this grippy used, I’m slightly terrified at how grippy they are new out of the box! I went on a super rocky trail today and it was like my feet were glued to the peddles. I cannot overstate how locked in these shoes feel.

I am incredibly impressed and now think these are more than worth the sticker price. I normally wear a men’s 10. 5 and the size 44 fits perfectly. I have a narrow foot and while 5. 10 and RC are a bit wide for me, these are great.
