It is good only for display. The fabric is completely fake, for its price. A scratch on the road and the tear spreads every day. They lasted me 7 weeks, I patched up a couple of holes in the upper part, but in the third month it tore at the base where it connects with the sole.

I don't believe there is anything negative about the shoe, it is one of the best for now from the company. The shoe is not meant to be taken care of, it is meant to be worn out. It is made to run, to run on any terrain and every step. Whether you want to run leisurely, run at a fast pace, or walk, it is there to help you, with Japanese construction guaranteeing amazing quality. The fabric is elastic and breathable, with excellent cushioning and a sole that helps you step correctly and softly on the ground, providing comfortable and good shock absorption. Only at the beginning, be a little careful with the step, as the heel has a slight tilt that I don't think will bother anyone, the rest of the sole is flat and suddenly the toe has a steep incline. This may not be easy for some to get used to, but once you do, you forget about it and the shoe takes you on its own.

48 years old with knee problems, I run at a pace of 6'/kilometer, about 6 to 7 kilometers, rarely a little more. Yesterday afternoon I did my first run on asphalt. I had the Glideride, previously Hoka Clifton 6 and before that Nike and NB. I can say that they are, by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Excellent cushioning and responsiveness with every step. Very sturdy and inspire confidence. They are somewhat tight on the left and right foot, but when I run it doesn't bother me. Anyway, I only got them for running and they will probably loosen up a bit, just enough. The temperature was about 28°C so I didn't sweat or feel my feet getting hot. I don't know how they are in hot conditions, but I don't run in the heat anyway. Obviously, they are shoes only for asphalt. As for whether they will hold up, I will know in a few months.

One year later, they are no longer at the level they were. I no longer run with them except on the gym treadmill. On asphalt, not even for fun. The cushioning has dramatically decreased...

As soon as I tried them on, I didn't have any difficulty at all in realizing that this was the heaviest and most rigid type of running shoe I have ever bought, but all of this was only noticeable for as long as I held and tested it in my hand. What I felt when I walked in it was a different story, as the many integrated technologies seemed to work perfectly together. The amazing geometry of a controlled soft sole that provided me with the same feeling throughout the entire stride, the high shock absorption, and the absolute stability even in somewhat abrupt lateral movements made my steps follow one another faster, despite the fact that my scale showed 331g (which is quite heavy) for size 42.5! The quality of the materials seems to be top-notch, with plenty of cushioning around the perimeter (I don't know to what extent it contributed in combination with the aforementioned features to reducing a rather intense discomfort in my left Achilles), a thin tongue with a nice length and a soft texture, a very good knit that is tightly sewn and unlikely to loosen, with embossed reinforcements on its outer surface that extend throughout the length of both the small and big toe. The parts of the sole that come into contact with the ground seem like they will have to be worn out by some of you running on "burning coals" in order to show signs of wear. Additionally, after the initial uses, they offer almost excellent grip on any dry surface and quite satisfactory grip on wet surfaces, although not comparable to Continental (see Adidas Ultra Boost). My feet are medium-slim and their fit is EXACTLY to my liking, as they "fit" like a sock, slightly closer to the typical Nike fit, perhaps a bit narrower, which implies something for those with wider feet. Design-wise, they are a true "work of art" (I have the black ones with blue and yellow outline on the logo) and despite my initial concerns about the protruding wings on the back, they seem more beautiful and elegant to me than many of my sneakers. Unfortunately (unlike the first 3 weeks), due to the color, for the past 20 days I have been limited to enjoying them in fast walking (5-5.5km/h) for about 3km daily, plus another 2 relaxed km with my pitbull, as my job only allows for "total black". From early November, God willing, when the season ends and I can double the aforementioned distances by "enriching" them with a little light jogging, I will come back with an "Update", but first I will put them in "competition" with the Cumulus 24, which I also own. Overall, the €172 that I was required to "shell out" 1.5 months ago to make them mine is not something you can call cheap, but for such a "weapon" I would give it again and again without a second thought! I hope the Kinsei Blast series continues to be produced just as powerfully!

They were purchased due to plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia for the past 6 months. I got half a size up and they fit perfectly (NIKE, ADIDAS, 44.5). In the first ten steps, I wondered why I hadn't bought them sooner!!! It's the first time I buy such expensive shoes, but due to my job (pharmacy), it was a must to have a very good pair of shoes. I am waiting for long-term results, but on the first day at work, I can say that I have half the foot burden compared to before. A very, very good choice for those who take an average of 25,000 steps a day with proper posture. I will come back when I have a better picture..

Those who work standing up for eight hours like salespeople should buy them now that the prices have "dropped". Expensive shoes without a doubt. They are not cheap. They were purchased in comparison to Kayano 28, Novablast 2, Pegasus 38, Vomero 15, Nimbus 24. I hope I helped.

Beautiful and high-quality

I bought them yesterday, after a few steps of walking I felt like I was flying. They are incredibly comfortable, the gel makes its presence felt and I consider the construction quality to be very good. I ran 7km without even realizing it and I declare myself thrilled, they are incredibly comfortable and become one with the foot! Although somewhat expensive, I consider them to be the best shoes I have ever had and I do not regret buying them!
