Review PUMA Mens Sneaker Black White
For the last few months I have been converting from a traditional heal-strike runner to a minimalist/barefoot running forefoot-strike technique. I came to the conclusion that I no longer needed any footwear which extended the heal and interfered with my natural stride. Needless to say, I could not wear minimalist running shoes everywhere - especially to work.
So I purchased these Merrell Radius Glove zero-drop shoes for when I am not running. They are fantastic and very comfortable. The sole is made by Vibram and very rugged. The upper is made of a full-grain leather and the area between the sole and the top of the shoe is cow suede. I purchased the black color, which also has a grayish two-tone accent color.
PROS: The shoes are very comfortable and can be worn with dress/casual styles of clothing. The zero-drop allows you to keep a neutral stride all day. That is primary reason I bought these shoes - to go zero-drop at work. I am college instructor and these fit with my business casual dress style. These shoes also have really nice ground-feel - not as good as Vibram Five Fingers or New Balance Minimus Trail - but for a dress/casual shoe it's great! I could feel almost everything under my feet while still be protected.
CONS: The sizing was a little off. I wear a size 10.5 in the Merrell Trail Glove running shoe and I am almost always a size 10.5 in minimalist running shoes. However, the 10.5 felt a little loose with the Radius Glove. Nevertheless, although they do feel slightly big, they do not slip in any way. One thing I am very worried about is the salt in the Winter. I live in a snowy winter climate and I know that the suede will be destroyed if I wear these in the Winter - so they are probably relegated to Spring, Summer, and Fall for me. Finally, the picture does not actually represent the style - they are far more two-toned than the picture leads on, as the lower part of the shoe is really a gun-metal gray.
I definitely recommend these shoes for people who want to maintain zero-drop all day but need a more dress/casual shoe. And of course Merrell makes a great product with great craftsmanship.
