Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What do buyers like most about this shoe?
Buyers rate the cushioning and bounce highest, and many praise overall comfort. The shoe also has a wide heel and adjustable laces that appeal to people with narrow feet or specific fit needs.
What's the main issue with fit and sizing?
Sizing runs narrow and short, and the fit varies significantly by foot shape. Buyers with narrow feet report needing to size up, sometimes by a full size or more, to avoid toe crunching and get a flat foot bed.
Does the arch support hold up?
Buyers are divided. Some find the arch support adequate, but others report the shoe lacks midsole support under the arch, causing the arch to bulge outward and the ankle to roll inward.
Are the colors accurate to what's shown?
Buyers report color misrepresentation. Tan versions, for example, can appear off-white or light silver instead, which may look dirty quickly.
Who is this shoe a good fit for?
It ranks well for runners with knee pain and wide feet. It works best for people with narrow feet and wide toe boxes who can size up appropriately and don't need strong arch support.
