descente thermo running shoes: style matters wont be overlooked

Descente is not as well-known in the domestic running circle as the four major running shoe brands. It does not bombard with overwhelming advertisements and is not solely focused on the development and promotion of professional running shoes. It has a high reputation in the fields of ice and snow sports and other sports. We often see its iconic anchor logo in international sports events. Due to its outstanding appearance and high-end product positioning, it is loved by many European and American celebrities.

The black packaging box cover only has a simple white arrow brand logo, which is grand and eye-catching. Opening the lid, I was immediately attracted by the appearance of these running shoes. You can feel it through a short video.

Detailed information about DESCENTE lightweight constant temperature running shoes:

I chose size 38 for these shoes. They feel very light in hand, and the actual measurement shows that a single shoe weighs 195 grams, which can indeed be called lightweight running shoes.

The upper is made of double-layer mesh fabric with a breathable inner layer. It is not very common to use three-layer mesh running shoes in summer, but it enhances the wrapping and support of the upper. The anti-collision toe and reflective heel design are standard for all running shoes. The thick woven flat laces are non-slip, but they are too long, leaving a lot of excess after tying, requiring multiple knots. The black and white mesh at the front of the tongue and the synthetic leather at the back, along with the green eyelets, highlight the design sense of a high-end brand.

These shoes are said to be constant temperature shoes, with the insole and outsole being the most important parts.

The insole uses OrthoLite, which is lightweight, heat-dissipating, anti-odor, sweat-absorbing, and has good resilience. The front and rear of the insole have anti-slip lines on the back, increasing friction for better anti-slip performance. The rubber outsole is densely covered with uniform grip particles, arranged very neatly. Although different areas use groove designs, and there is even a 20CM long guide groove from the forefoot to the arch, making the shoe's cushioning and flexibility functions very prominent, it does not consider the force distribution during running and lacks different designs. Due to its lightweight nature, the support for the forefoot and arch may be weak.

Ultimately, you have to wear the shoes to know if they fit. The thin inner mesh and black lining are both comfortable and dirt-resistant. The tongue is a short design consistent with the length of the shoe opening, which is slightly different from other running shoes. After putting them on and trying a small warm-up, I couldn't help but exclaim again, they are really light.

These shoes have excellent wrapping, unlike many so-called lightweight running shoes with loose uppers. The heel is not reduced in material for the sake of lightness. To break in the new shoes, I chose to jog for the first run. Unconsciously attracted by the lush greenery of midsummer, I ran into a small forest meadow. The white and green intertwined during the run, creating a beautiful scene that makes you forget your pace. The anti-slip performance on grass and dirt roads is good.

 

These running shoes are the most tested among all my new shoes. I ran on the island's plastic track, suburban roads, grass, playgrounds, etc., with varying paces from six minutes to four minutes per kilometer, and distances ranging from 300 meters to a half marathon. I ran about ten times over twenty days. These shoes have a small drop between the front and rear, a slender shape, excellent wrapping, and the cushioning effect is more noticeable in the 5 to 4 minutes per kilometer pace range. The lightweight part may be due to the reduction in the midsole, making the rebound on the plastic track somewhat weak. Heavier runners who land on their heels may experience sinking and reduced force.

The official claim for these Descente running shoes is a constant temperature of 37.5 degrees. This means that after long-distance running, if the body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees, its breathability and other high-tech features can keep the temperature within a not-too-stuffy range. Recently, the northern climate is not very hot. On the test day, my body temperature was 37 degrees, and after wearing the shoes for an hour, the infrared thermometer measured 31 degrees, which seems to be somewhat effective. In multiple tests, there was no slippery sweat on the soles, but it certainly won't be as comfortable as air conditioning, after all, it uses a three-layer mesh upper.

Overall, the disadvantages of these shoes are the lack of support and rebound on long-distance runs and plastic tracks. The advantages are the bouncy foot feel, beautiful appearance, and lightweight. They are positioned as high-end sports shoes with fashionable design and easy to wear. If you like celebrity styles and are a fan of 5 to 10-kilometer road races, these shoes should catch your eye.
