They are perfect except that the neoprene doesn’t breath. So I wear them on short runs (3 miles or so) or in cool temperatures.

Yeah, breathability is the big problem with these. Fix that and they are a
decent option. I also agree that version 1 looks better.

Those look interesting – do they breathe well? Also, what is the fit
like in the forefoot? Thanks for the info!

I actually just ran in them last week – much better in winter than in
summer. Made of a neoprene type material so they hold sweat, but they’re
zero-drop, thin soled, and handle just fine on the road. Not the best
looking shoe, but not a bad option for zero-drop on the cheap. Decently wide
forefoot for a water shoe.

Did you ever try running in these? Is there an updated review elsewhere on the site that I am missing?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the updated review: https://runblogger.com/2010…

I’m tempted, but I’ll hold off on getting these until I see some reviews – yours, perhaps? I’ll stay tuned.

I’ll try to get a first look up after I get them – should be here within the
week.

and they run great!
