I was a skeptic, but then I tried them on in my local running store just for fun, jogged several strides across the store, and was amazed by the energy return and how effortless that felt. Maybe it’s a placebo event but I felt so confident wearing them which no other shoe alone has made me feel.
I ended up ordering two sizes to try out a week later (will return the pair that doesn’t fit). I do have questions/concerns regarding the shoe (Flynit specifically): I’ve read and experienced the concerns around “heal slippage”. I feel it just walking around the house but maybe I’m being too sensitive to it. It’s not a sizing thing because my toe is ready to burst through the smaller pair, and I still notice it when wearing those shoes.
Is my foot just not the right shape to wear these? Does it stop after a few miles (I have read reviews that say that)? Is there a special way to tie them that might help?
I’ve only worn them on the treadmill and walking around the house. I am waiting for better weather to try them outside.
