RunRepeat85/100
Very comfortable and durable, with a better-fitting toebox, but heavier than average and short on bounce.

Running Shoes Guru7/10
A dependable, stable trainer for relaxed runs, but the midsole feels dated and flat for a shoe at this price.

Doctors of Running
A premium, traditional-feeling daily trainer with a plush upper and a smooth heel transition, best kept to easy-paced running.

Believe in the Run
Cushioned, stable and durable, but heavy and warm, and too close to the cheaper Glycerin Flex to justify the price.

Do you carry wide sizes, and can I bring my orthotics?
Many of our shoes come in wide versions, and some have a roomier toe box by design. Bring your orthotics or insoles to a fitting so we can make sure they work with your new shoes.
