Shoes and brand very comfortable best fitting runner I ever owned - I am a repeat buyer

Bought to replace my Torin 7s and wanted a hybrid shoe when not wearing Timp 4. The heel cushioning and mid-sole support is fantastic. As others have mentioned definitely not as roomy as the Torin, but still plenty in toe box. It has the things I like about Torin and the things I like about Timp together as one. Curious to see if the material improves the life compared to Torins which I tend to rip before the sole gets blown out.

LOVE these shoes perfect for any sidewalk or trail. No break in period and never hurt my feet.

Although the emphasis is on these shoes being "road running" shoes the description does mention the word "hybrid".Given the tread on the soles these are more "hybrid" than "road" shoes. For road running the tread is thinner whereas hybrids have thicker soles with deeper treads to allow grip when running over wet soil etc.It is similar to cycle tyres... a road bike uses slick tyres with barely any tread so there is a lot of grip on the road surface, which is why a road cycle will only use around 10mm of tyre contact at any time. Running shoes are the same, on flat road surfaces one requires as little tread as possible to get more grip. That is why these shoes are better for offroad as the tread design and depth will disperse water so one can run through a ford or a small stream. Although not so good in dry conditions the soles will work well for road running in wet weather.These shoes are good for cross country runs given the type of soles used. The materials used, including the soles, are of good quality however. The fit is good, with plenty of width so those with wide feet can wear these.Given the good quality of these shoes they do deliver good value but I do belive the price can be lowered a fair bit to give even better value. Nevertheless can recommend these shoes for the comfort and grip.

These shoes are colourful but still look subtle. I used them for walks and they are comfortable. I found them slightly stiff in the beginning which I am hoping would get better with time and use. These are light in weight. The cushioning around the ankle and sole is decent.I need to open up the laces whenever I need to put them on. I have not used them for running yet. I will be trying them on soon for a run and will update my opinion on them.I'm a little sceptical about the size selection as I'm using one renowned brand of shoes of size 7 and hence I chose the size 7 here as well but these run small for me. A size bigger would have been a better option for me.But with overall comfort, these shoes are perfect for the right size.I would definitely recommend it.
