Pros & Cons
What We Like...
- Reasonably priced at about $100
- EVA midfoot and flexible forefoot make it a more versatile shoe for beginners
- 0.6” (15.5mm) heel wedge is easier to acclimate to than a standard 0.75” (19mm) heel
What Needs Improvement...
- Narrow heel base isn’t the most stable compared to other options
- Very limited color options
- EVA foam midsole is more compressible than those made of TPU, wood, or leather
