Jingjing 296
First impression upon opening the package: The shoe box is not deformed or damaged. Thanks to the double-layer wrapping of the shoe box, with an outer layer of bubble foam padding. The clasp-style shoe box gives the running shoes a sense of security inside. First impression of the shoes themselves: The appearance is elegant and simple, with bright colors. The shoes use blue and orange colors, which feel very comfortable. Personally, I really like this color. Second impression: After putting them on, they feel light and very breathable. When I wear these running shoes, I can clearly feel that the space in the forefoot is very ample, with no restriction and no toe pinching.
First test wearing the sneakers
Total distance of 11.41 kilometers took 1 hour and 10 minutes. The shoes are very comfortable during running, providing good protection for the feet and supporting the legs during the most fatigued moments. The shock absorption effect is good, providing cushioning during uphill and downhill, making every step feel very stable. Indeed, they are well-deserved slow running shock-absorbing shoes.
Of course, wearing the Bimai 21K 2nd Generation for some comprehensive quality training is also quite suitable. For example, frog jumps, stride jumps, etc. Because the midsole of the 21K 2nd Generation is very thick and equipped with boom technology, there is no problem with shock absorption, and the forefoot grip is also quite good. Running and jumping can be perfectly combined.
Marathon long-distance evaluation
The first time was 22.29 kilometers, the second time was 45 kilometers.
Summary evaluation:
1. Overall, these shoes have achieved their design positioning. After two long runs, they fit well without much break-in, indicating that the shoes themselves are designed to fit the human foot.
2. The shock absorption effect is quite prominent. Every step during running is very stable, and they are comfortable to wear. Not only can they be used for marathons, but also for walking around the streets, making them trustworthy.
3. The protection and support for the feet are good. As a pair of shock-absorbing running shoes positioned for half-marathons and even full marathons, their high rebound performance effectively ensures the impact on the runner's knees. The design of the PTU material in the sole acts as the skeleton of the shoes, providing good support for the runner's weight and supporting the arch of the foot.
4. The insoles need to be softer. For long-distance running, they need to be softer.
In summary, as mentioned before, these shoes do not require a break-in period for long runs. The shock absorption and other functions are very good. If the insoles could be made softer, they would be perfect.
