★★★★☆
Solid shoe for strength and endurance training.
I wear a size 10 cd (wide) in most shoes. I workout every day, using light weights (12-35lb) to do a variety of HIIT, strength & endurance, and plyometrics exercises.
I have now worn them for three workouts and find that they are a solid shoe.
Support and fit: They are a bit high around the ankle for me, so they push back on me during side lunches, but that's okay. They don't slip off the back of my heels during planks and pushups or even during plank jacks and mountain climbers. I find them true to a size 10 wide. I feel no pressure left to right or top to bottom.
Performance and Cushioning: For turning and pivoting moves like samurai twists or curtsy lunges, I find them to be solid and it's easy to hold my balance in them.
For plyos, like burpees, jumping jacks, and jumping rope, where you are mostly in the ball of the foot, the cushion in the ball of the foot is solid. No complaints.
For leg workouts, like squats, squat jumps, single lunges, and deadlifts, I wish there was more of an arch and more cushion in the heel. (Hence, the four star review.)
For lunges and calf raises where you move from flat foot to your toes and back again, I find the shoe nicely flexible.
Overall, this is a solid shoe for my workouts. It has good support and decent cushioning.
