Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have become a "Minimalist" when it comes to running shoes.Even before reading "Born to Run" (by Doug McDougall) I've been running exclusively in racing flats.After reading the book, I had to try out the Vibram five-fingers, but they just didn't work for me (I have a crooked little toe from an old poorly-healed fracture, and the five-fingers wanted to force this a direction it didn't want to go). I still wanted a lightweight shoe; roomy enough to leave my toe alone.For me, this has narrowed down to the Asics Hyperspeed 4.
Advantages: Extremely lightweight.Thin sole.Low cost (usually less than $70.A huge relief over the $130 shoes I used to buy).Even the design and trim look leaner and less cluttered than its predecessor, the Hyperspeed 3.
Disadvantages:Perhaps no surprise, but they wear out quickly.Having said this, I can usually eke out 250 miles or more per pair.But when they wear out, they really disintigrate in a hurry.Another problem is that the "holes" in the uniquely designed sole (which helps them to be lightweight) seem to suck up tiny little pebbles.So far, my only solution to this is to select my running routes carefully.
I have run two half-marathons withe these, with no problems.And this includes all my training as well.
