I'm a runner, if you saw me in person you'd think I was lying, but as a more stocky "power lifter" I still enjoy my cardio during the week. My poor runners I've had for years now finally needed a break and this may sound sound silly but when I'm looking for new shoes I'm more likely to get a pair of shoes if the running sole is THICK, and boy these Road Runners fit the bill. Normally I' don't think this would've a style I would go for but when I saw the color ways that were available I had to get some. After taking the week after they arrived to run in them every day after work these are probably some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had, the materiel is breathable and light but not too thin as to feel like they are gonna tear easily. After every run I've been expecting my calves to be on fire like in my old runners but nothing, even during my runs the shock I'm used to feeling from older shoes I've had was no more and the natural roll of the sole made running a breeze. I'm honestly considering getting more just to get different color ways. If I had one complaint it was just that it seemed these shoes are magnets for dirt and it seems to not want to let go of the dirt once its on the thin material but just be careful of mud when you wear them. Even with my broader frame and mass I expected the soles to start to collapse and wrinkle even after a week but the soles look just as new as the day they arrived. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good running shoe that's light, breathable and reduces shock.
