Women's Wide Toe Box Road Running Shoe + Zero Drop

Mom needed a wider toe box runner. She wears these all the time. Good value for the price.

Really like these shoes! They are very comfortable for my feet. They are relatively cute (just basic and plain) and lightweight. The wide toe box is perfect and the zero drop encourages my feet to become stronger as opposed to relying on the support of the shoes. The only thing that’s a little challenging is the sizing. I usually wear a 9.5 which is normally a 40. These shoes list a size 9 as 40 and I’d say they are right between a typical 9 and 9.5. I’d try a 10, but I’m afraid they’d be way too big. That’s my only complaint-judging the length appropriately.

Starting with 5 stars based on delivery, packaging, and first try-on. Very lightweight and sturdy. Not a lot of cushioning on the inside but still surprisingly comfortable. Easy to put on and the shoe strings are nice and long. They are true to size and I really appreciate the cushioning around the back of the shoes supporting the ankles. The toe box is perfect and my foot is not being crushed on top because the tongue of the shoe actually cradles the top of my foot instead of stabbing it. I walked around my living room in these and I actually feel more flexible in my ankles which is what I was hoping for with anterior tendon issues when I run. I literally smiled and said “I think I might love these”. We’ll see! I’m hoping these will keep their 5 star rating when I take them on the track tomorrow morning. I’ll update y’all soon! Update: OMG! These made ALL the difference! Wtf??? I’ve spent soooo much money on other “popular” brands that killed my shins and tendons in my ankles (I thought I was just in bad form), but THESE!!! I just ran a mile in these on a paved track and NO PAIN IN MY ANKLES OR TENDONS!!!!! I’m in love with these!!!! If you strike more on your mid foot or ball of your foot when you run, these are definitely for you!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!

These aren’t really wide enough to be considered a true barefoot shoe. I had to size up to get it to not pinch my toes. I don’t think it’s truly a zero drop sole either. The heels definitely feels thicker than the toe. It’s fine if I’m wearing them for a couple hours but if I wear them all day my feet ache horribly. They do look nice, more like a real tennis shoe but I don’t think the quality is great for how they make your feet feel.

These were shipped in a plastic shipping bag, only vacuum wrapped. No box. Little odd, but for the price I was willing to try them on regardless. Color was true to screen. Laces were generous and long enough for a size 11 to ACTUALLY use all the eyelets. These shoes lack a heel-lock eyelet if you need that lacing pattern. Some of the finishing reads 'cheap' and the lack of color detailing also doesn't scream 'expensive'. It's a very monotone shoe. But hey - price, right? It does have a bit of reflective paint at the heel , a pull loop, and good venting on side and top. Zero drop seemed true to fit. I had to open up the lacing pattern due to my tendonitis on the top of my feet but I was able to do so and get these to where I didn't feel too much pressure on the top of my feet. I was able to fit my chosen insert into these to provide better support.
