361 shield2 running shoes love with you

Hey! Hello everyone, I am Xiaoyi. I am very happy to share my personally tested running gear with you all again. Although I am not a running expert and my writing skills are not that great, I can genuinely share my experiences with fellow runners. I am also very grateful to Codoon for giving me this opportunity. Thank you, heart!

I consider myself a new-generation running enthusiast with over a year of running experience, aiming only to stay fit and healthy. Only runners know the injuries that come with the sport, so... I personally believe that a pair of comfortable and perfect running shoes is extremely important. After testing for 15 days, today I will share with you a pair of domestic running shoes that combine aesthetics and functionality: the 361-shield 2 running shoes. Every step is love; change starts now!

[Brand Introduction]

[Unboxing Experience, First Impressions]

Every time I receive a package from the Codoon platform, the outer packaging alone brings genuine joy.

Upon a 360-degree careful inspection, the craftsmanship is meticulous, the appearance is intact. For the style, please refer to the picture below; I believe you will have your own definition.

[Appearance]

The shoe body does not have complicated patterns or text. The obvious logo is on the tongue, and the color combination gives a very comfortable first impression, with a strong visual impact. Overall, it looks simple and elegant with a strong sense of three-dimensionality.

[Design Highlights]

No matter what kind of shoes, good breathability will always improve wearing comfort. But running shoes are different from others; besides breathability, stability, support, and protection are also essential functions.

① Toe Cap: Double-layer wrap design, safe and comfortable.

② Upper: Lightweight material design creates a comfortable breathable effect and a lightweight wearing experience. The PP film material fusion process design enhances the support effect and fashion of the upper, making it stable and stylish.

③ Midsole: The streamlined design combined with the outstanding cushioning effect of the QU!KFOAM technology material creates a significant cushioning effect and gentle rebound performance, making it comfortable and effortless to wear.

④ Outsole: The groove structure enhances foot sensitivity, and the rubber patch design creates a stable grip effect and anti-slip performance, extending the service life and ensuring sports safety.

⑤ Heel: Dot decoration with 3M reflective material increases safety for night running.

⑥ Tongue: The concave design fits the curvature of the instep and has a breathable mesh design, enhancing comfort to 100 points.

[First Wearing Experience]

My forefoot is relatively wide, making me quite picky about running shoes. The first feeling after putting them on is that the upper fits well with the instep, and you can feel the curvature of the sole, but the overall feeling is slightly hard. Other than that, there is no discomfort. According to the careful reminder from the official, I learned that this shoe size runs small, so I chose a size larger than usual, which fits just right. (The picture looks like the shoes are big because I like my running shoes a size larger, so it has nothing to do with the shoes themselves.)

[Running Experience]

Now in Shenyang, Northeast China, it is already freezing cold and windy. Personally, I feel that winter running is much more challenging than running in other seasons, and the requirements for running shoes seem to be higher. The first test run of 6 kilometers with the 361-shield 2 on my feet felt very light, and the support effect was good when my feet landed.

In the following time, I tried 10 kilometers and a half marathon consecutively. The speed was not fast, and in the sub-zero temperature, I sweated slightly. The breathability was excellent; I did not feel uncomfortable from foot sweat, nor did I feel cold feet. After several test runs and longer distances, the slightly hard feeling of the shoes disappeared completely. After running, there was no discomfort in my feet. From the perspective of experience, I could clearly feel the cushioning effect exerted by the forefoot and heel.

Personally, I feel that the shoes have good wrapping, especially liking the feeling under my feet. So, I took out the insole to study it. Although I couldn't figure out much, I had a general understanding after visual inspection.

[Durability]

I have only run a few dozen kilometers in total, so I cannot give a reasonable rating for the durability of these running shoes. But so far, there are no obvious changes or deformations in the shoes. It can be seen that although they are designed to be lightweight, the material and hardness of the sole are still guaranteed. Based on my personal experience, I would subjectively give a high score.

[Summary]

Overall, these 361 international line running shoes have a very high cost-performance ratio, definitely combining high aesthetics and functionality. After my personal test, I strongly recommend them. They are absolutely unbeatable for daily training within a half marathon. I believe most people have a subtle bias against domestic brands, and I was no exception before. But this experience has completely changed my view. I hope my review article will give fellow runners a new understanding of the domestic brand 361 and provide an additional option when choosing running shoes.

All the above content is written with care after my personal test. I hope it can provide some small reference for fellow runners. My writing is limited, so please don't criticize too harshly. Thanks!
