5.0 out of 5 stars You do Parkour/Freerunning? Get em!, April 11, 2008

By	Grzegorz Cioch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These shoes are perfect for Parkour and Freerunning. I owned them for about a month and I'm very satisfied because they provide amazing grip (except metal surfaces) and enough cushioning. I let my friends try them on and they could feel the difference against regular shoes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting start, but the trade offs are hit and miss, September 10, 2009

By	Chutzpuh "The last PC gamer" (Tucson, Az United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I looked around for a while for a good pair of Free Running shoes. After checking out the main site for these people, these things would have you thinking that you can walk on water upside down. The premise is cool, take the rubber from a pair or rock climbing shoes and slap it onto a running shoe. The result is what you would expect, a rather sticky tractioned shoe.

I have to say, it does work. I have gotten far more steps into a wall run that I managed on my Cons. Anything that has even the slightest texture becomes perfect footing for all of your steps. I found that they stuck rather well to metal rails too (but they were painted and not polished). The only problem I ran into with the rubber was dust and dirt. As soon as I set one foot into dirt, the traction is gone. This also happens from picking up dust on walls and on sidewalks. Not an issue for the true city dwellers, but I live in a dust bowl.

The layer of the rubber is also rather thin, something around half a centimeter. Given how soft the rubber is and the rough stuff I run on, I can't imagine these lasting all that long. This layer is likely thin due to the stiffness of the rubber.

By stiffness, I mean that. When I first got these things, they did not bend. Even after a few weeks, they are still a bit stiff. This is a rather large issue for me since it means the difference between slamming my tiptoes into a wall and bending my shoes up to catch the wall on the balls of my feet.

The shoes are well padded, I can't argue that. That alone makes them so much better than my throwaway sneakers for falls.

In summary, these things are a bit pricy for what they are but they do it well. I find them a bit stiff and heavy in comparison to what I like, but the trade offs are good. I would give them a 3.5 honestly, but I can't see a 5 in them due to their stiffness and lack of comfort. They will help you get that extra step up a wall as well as help you land that jump, but you will whack your toes several times before you get used to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Son loves these shoes, December 22, 2008

By	V. Bastress (Northeast) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

My son wanted these for parkouring. He is totally impressed with the grip these shoes have. They seem to be holding up well. They must be comfortable because I haven't heard any complaining. If you need a grippy shoe these are the ones to get!
