A big boys best friend!

What a revelation! I'm a big man carrying excess weight but I had a great 5k with these new shoes! Much better than the more expensive Asic Kayano's, these shoes are brilliant for my short, midfoot strike, stepping style.

My new creps arrived yesterday, took every ounce of my being not to cut my rest days short! Looking forward to getting out in them tomorrow.... they feel like slippers and are so light! No where near as expensive as yours, but hoping they’ll help keep the stress off my joints.

See you at the finish line!

I know these are not cheap however nor are a new set of knees!

It's definitely all about finding shoes you swear by rather than swear at.

Not what you're looking for?
