codoon fit every step counts

Foreword: Thanks to the Codoon Equipment Party for providing this opportunity to test the Codoon Walking Shoes LT01. I have done several product reviews on the Codoon platform, including SUUNTO sports watches, SALOMON trail running shoes, CRAFT functional clothing, and A.O. Smith water purifiers, but I always had the idea of reviewing a product from the Codoon brand. With this thought in mind, I finally got the chance. When I received the notification that I had been selected for the Codoon Walking Shoes test, I was very happy. After providing the shipping address, I just had to wait for the delivery.

On Friday, I received the review notification. Coincidentally, someone in my running group also saw the news and asked me to show off the prize shoes. I said I had just sent the shipping address via private message, so it would probably take about a week to receive them. To my surprise, I received a delivery notification early the next morning. When I opened the delivery locker, it was indeed the Codoon Walking Shoes for the test. I couldn't help but praise the efficiency and attitude of the Codoon Equipment Party. Considering that I sent the address on Friday afternoon, which is close to the end of the workday for most companies, the Codoon team’s work ethic is commendable and will surely make them stronger! Meanwhile, my words in the running group the previous day were proven wrong.

Opening the package, I was impressed by the packaging, which truly reflects the product of an internet-based company. The walking shoes box uses a very eco-friendly and distinctive zipper-style packaging made of kraft paper, without too much decoration. One of the features of this zipper-style packaging is that it can be sealed without tape, making it convenient and theft-proof. The Codoon shoe box can be reused as packaging, which is a great way to save resources.

After unpacking, I followed the instructions to bind the Codoon chip to the app and installed the chip into the shoe. There is a special slot under the left insole for placing the smart chip. I have used smart insoles from other brands before, but they stopped working after a few months when the battery ran out. The Codoon smart chip has a replaceable battery and the app shows the remaining battery life, making it very convenient and suitable for long-term use.

✔ Basic functionality of Codoon Walking Shoes.

I am an environmentalist and try to use fewer high-consumption items in my daily life. I also advocate for a natural and simple lifestyle. In my memory, I haven't worn leather shoes or used leather products for at least four years, and my clothing is mainly casual and sportswear. When it comes to daily footwear, my core requirements are functionality—lightweight, comfortable, convenient, and breathable, with appearance being secondary. This has an advantage: once you get used to a brand, you become dependent on it, making purchasing decisions easier.

I received the Codoon Walking Shoes LT01 just as I was about to leave for Qingdao, so I decided to wear them directly. This way, I could experience and summarize them simultaneously. Regarding the functionality of the Codoon Walking Shoes, I want to discuss four points.

1. Lightweight.

Lightweight is one of the features of Codoon Walking Shoes, but it’s not just about being the lightest; it also considers support and wrapping. The material choice affects the shoe's weight. The Codoon Walking Shoes use a one-piece flyknit upper and large mesh technology; the sole uses EVA material with high resilience and wear resistance. EVA material is known for its high toughness, moisture resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, and pollution-free characteristics. The one-piece flyknit upper and EVA sole are currently mainstream technologies for walking shoes. It’s worth mentioning that Codoon Walking Shoes are supported by Codoon running shoe technology, providing good anti-slip and support performance.

2. Comfort.

The Codoon Walking Shoes LT01 feature a high-volume upper design, suitable for most foot types, especially those with higher foot volume. It prevents tightness and pressure from the upper part of the shoe, ensuring comfort even in the afternoon when feet are most swollen. My feet have a high volume, so these shoes are very suitable for me.

The one-piece flyknit material has elasticity, making it fit well during walking.

3. Convenience.

The Codoon Walking Shoes LT01 have a lace-free elastic structure, which was one of my criteria for buying shoes before. The lace-free design makes them very convenient to wear. The upper part of the shoe has a weak elastic design to prevent small stones and sand from entering during exercise. However, one drawback of this elastic design is that if you don't wear socks or wear low-cut socks, the upper part of the shoe can rub against the back of your heel. I walked for half a day in low-cut socks and got a blister on my right heel. Wearing high-cut socks solved this problem. Of course, you can also wear the walking shoes like slippers by stepping on the back, which is also a good choice.

4. Multi-scene application.

During my two-day trip to Qingdao, I experienced long train rides, city walking, morning mountain climbing, and dining with friends. Throughout the two days, the Codoon Walking Shoes proved to be very practical and aesthetically pleasing. On the second day, I stayed in the mountains, and the host said there was a reservoir not far up the mountain, so I decided to take a walk. Wearing the walking shoes, I hiked up the mountain, which involved climbing large rocks and walking on wild paths. I usually participate in trail running, so being outdoors excites me. The walking shoes temporarily served as trail running shoes.

After all the activity, the shoes had excellent anti-slip performance and fit well, but the upper quickly got dirty with mud, grass, leaf sap, and stones. Haha, playing always comes with a cost. When I returned in the evening, I took out the insoles and chip, brushed the shoes thoroughly for five minutes, and by the next morning, the upper was mostly dry. By the afternoon, the shoes were completely dry. The large mesh design makes them easy to dry and clean. You can see the before and after cleaning comparison.

✔ Smart functionality of Codoon Walking Shoes.

Smart applications are another advantage of the Codoon Walking Shoes LT01, closely connected with the Codoon app. The smart application of the walking shoes has two features: precision and fun.

1. Precision.

The Codoon Walking Shoes have a chip inside the shoe, which accurately measures the distance of your activity, minimizing interference from other factors. It can be said that “every step counts.” You don’t need to keep the app open while using the walking shoes; just wear them and move as usual. When you open the Codoon app, the bound chip will automatically sync the data to the app, showing the total distance covered while wearing the walking shoes. Without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without recording data, how can one know the distance covered?

Every pair of shoes has its lifespan, and the lifecycle of a pair of walking shoes is 600 to 900 kilometers. This is similar to how car tires ensure safe driving within their normal lifecycle, but pose safety risks if used beyond that period. The same applies to walking shoes; as the mileage and time increase, the sole material ages, and the rebound and wrapping properties deteriorate, failing to provide the best protection for your body. The smart chip in Codoon Walking Shoes monitors the usage status by recording mileage and time.

2. Fun.

Making exercise more interesting is what fun is all about. Exercise red envelopes allow you to draw cash rewards based on your daily exercise amount. For example, after a 5KM walk in the morning, you can receive a cash red envelope. If your total steps for the day reach 8KM, you can receive another red envelope in the evening. Interesting, right? Sharing your exercise data and red envelope amounts in the exercise circle creates interaction with friends. The Codoon app also periodically holds task-based activities, challenging you to improve your persistence and endurance.

Codoon is an advocate and pioneer of smart exercise. Codoon not only sells products and encourages their use but also promotes scientific and healthy exercise methods. When you open the Codoon app and connect to the smart walking shoes page, there is a large section dedicated to training tutorials, helping you improve your exercise posture and customize healthy and effective exercise methods. This is the mission of a company: to advocate for more people to exercise and help more people learn how to exercise.

The Codoon testing function is also a great module in the Codoon app. When people start paying attention to and researching products, it becomes a process of focusing on the scientific and practical aspects of things. You will not only pay attention to the product description but also consider the user experience and areas for improvement. Exercise is never as simple as you think, but with dedication, it can bring you more benefits than you imagined. Thanks again to the Codoon Equipment Party for providing this review opportunity. Enjoy healthy exercise with Codoon and enjoy life with Codoon.
