Beats comfortable for running and even cycling

Overall a good shoe, although it left me with a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth that this is the kind of shoe that was the best for a first run out of the box. At the time I would have rated it an 11 on a scale of one to ten, but unfortunately I had to come back to reality afterwards. After a couple of runs it got a bit stiffer. I'm the type of person who likes a rounded heel for a better rollover (as much of it as I have here you can feel nothing) Well, the first run I had no problem, but after that that part wasn't as soft so the rollover was chunkier, but maybe it's just stiffer in the cold. Anyway, the shoe is pretty light for its size, and bouncy. Although the geometry of the outsole isn't but it could be the big brother of an Asics Novablast due to its high energy transfer and low weight. For me, it was at its best when I was either jogging very slowly in it, or taking it a little more advanced, to the point where I was coming around corners less. Don't get me wrong, the shoe isn't hard, it's just the lower part of the two-layer midsole that provides stability that's stiffer and the non-bend heel part makes the grip on the ground not good if you step in front of yourself and land on your heels (like me). But if you step under yourself, it's probably not a problem. But the upper soft part of the midfoot is genius (could be more of it). Not incidentally, the look of the shoe is a thousand times better in person than in pictures. So it's just me that's hard to impress for that 4 stars, but most people would love this shoe.
