The design I find overall very successful and stands out from other shoes often, so I see at the gym, clearly from. What I did not like so much, are the more "ladylike" seemingly neon pink laces. Here I would recommend it replaced with that in white, which in turn complement each other very much better with the white contrasting stripes on the side and the white sole. The shoe overall effect also very well made.
The shoe promises barefoot feeling. I can certainly agree, and indeed rather barefoot on Cloud 7 than on the beach. In the composition of the sole and the upper with a lot of emphasis was placed on the cushioning and upholstery, so you can almost speak of a veritable suspension while running already. The forefoot is managed especially for people with rather wider feet; here you have plenty of space. The heel is well padded enclosed by the shoe and at the same time very well stabilized.
I run with the shoe regularly on the treadmill longer periods of time, but at times also tempo runs. In both cases, the shoe is an excellent choice. It is very important that you caught the model is exactly the right size. Beginners when it comes to neutral or minimal shoe will probably only have to get used to the shoe.
