In a runner book I had read about this brand and "had to" try them equal. Processing seems wertig, inside everything nice and smooth, without abrasive seams. The upper stabilizing and thin and "weather-resistant". But it also allows for good ventilation and the space inside the shoe is comfortable and close fitting. I wear normal 41 and have a precautionary measure ordered in 42 2/3, which proved to be spot on. Color is made of comfortable-bright-blue, the sole quasi rather little green and not yellow as in the picture, but quite harmoniously. Getting used to, of course now the right thickness and thus high sole. This results in a buffer of a special kind, the opposite of 'natural running'. Trail I am not yet gone, instead, led me to the first test on the road (or the roadside) and I was hard done by the damping. So thick and sturdy in the sole is also (it can be about the longitudinal axis hardly turn), so soft and impact reducing it reacts in coming up on the ground, where they did not feel that too much energy for the forward movement 'fizzles' , With bumps and potholes in fact, care must be taken because the danger of twisting course exists (am therefore looking forward to the forest). Otherwise, it responds sole grip and the shoe is amazingly light for 'as much material'. The lacing is fixed and adjustable fine, the end one can then loop through / around the two "Gummizugbrücken" (across the tongue), so they do not interfere. I will continue to test and express myself in due course once more. But so far I can not complain - 5 stars!
