I was interested to see what a woman specific shoe would feel like in terms of the shape and I was not disappointed when I slipped my foot into this shoe. It just felt right. The shape of the toe box felt nice and roomy whilst feeling snug and secure around the centre of my foot, with the mesh side panels integrated with the lacing system. I was concerned that the heel counter would be uncomfortable as it initially felt as if it was digging into my heel at the top. After a run or two I realised that this would not be an issue and I was able to hit an 18km run in Scotland’s Pentland Hills with no problems.
