Summary: A great all-round shoe that is well-balanced.

GRIP - SUPERB, no complaints at all. I love this sole.

WEIGHT - Definitely on the lighter side, but you will notice the weight if you lean more towards acrobatics and kicks.

CUSHIONING - This is the biggest weakness of this shoe. Can’t have it all. I don’t do much high-impact, so it’s not an issue for me. The cushioning is still enough, to protect you from any bruises to your feet that you might get from the occasional bad landing or heel slam during normal training.

DURABILITY - the upper is made from leather and therefore will last you a long time. I caught one of the seams during an early session, which created a weak spot. This got me worried at first, but two months later they are still going strong.

FEEL - These felt great on foot from day one, but when worn all day they seem to rub my small toe which causes some dis-comfort. But it’s never been a big issue. I do have wide hobbit feet FIY. When doing Parkour I have a great sense for the ledges and surfaces of each obstacle and they make you feel connected and close to the ground.
