My Thoughts
Likes
- lightweight this shoe feels like there is nothing on your feet.
- Faas Foam midsole, extremely light with the perfect amount of cushoning
- Looks, this shoe flat out looks good
- rocker out sole
Dislikes
- Footbed, the perferations seam to big and you can feel the holes it gets a little uncomfortable
- lacing system, it seams like the fit just isn't quite right.
- slightly to large of a heel to toe drop. 7.6mm
Points Scale
Performance 3/5 The shoes performs well for what it is for. It's nothing special but it is no slouch.
Price 4/5 retails for $85.00 which it's self is a great price for a running shoe. However i purchased mine at a Puma outlet store for $42.50 which is insane for this good of a shoe. Look online for discounted prices as well.
Durability 2/5 Due to the thinkness of the ever ride/ ever track out sole i foresee a problem getting up towards the 125 mile mark. i have seen wear on my pair after roughly 30 miles.
Comfort 3/5 The mid sole is awesome the cushioning is perfect, but the footbed is a major downer for myself.
Looks 4/5 My personal belief is this shoe looks good, i wear it everywhere. running, walking and lounging it's just a cool looking shoe.
Total 16/25
Bottom Line
- If someone is looking into getting into mid foot strike running i would recommend looking into the Puma Faas running line. they are arranged by numbers higher numbers mean more cushioning and lower numbers are less cushioning. if you progressed downward they would be a great transition to minimalism. I like these shoes but i kind of like them more for casual wear. I do still enjoy running in them.
