kalenji long distance running shoes review experience
The goddess of luck visited again, and I won a pair ofKalenjilong-distance running shoes. Thanks to the Codoon Sports Trend Store and Codoon. Here is my review of these running shoes:
kilometer run, I felt a slight sinking sensation at the toe area when walking to the usual stretching point. This might be due to the significant height difference between the front and back of the shoes. After stretching and starting to run, the sinking sensation at the toe area became less noticeable, possibly because the landing speed of the toe area differs between walking and running..First Impressions and Details
This pair ofKalenjishoes is designed for road and track running, suitable for overpronators. The shoes feature a clever combination of blue, black, white, and green colors. The blue upper and collar, black tongue, and green and white accents create an overall appealing look that fits the general aesthetic preferences.
The upper is mostly made of3Dbreathable mesh. The collar is made of soft, high-quality leather with nine rectangular ventilation holes on each side. The toe cap is wrapped in hard synthetic leather for collision protection. The sole consists of a white upper layer made ofPebaxmaterial and a lower layer of wear-resistant rubber.Pebaxmaterial at the heel is about3cmthick, about2cmat the midsole, and about1.5cmat the forefoot. The rubber heel is semi-circular, and the front is transversely segmented, both about0.5cmthick. The midsole is hollow.
The inner circle of the black rubber heel has a blue material that extends from the midsole to the heel, wrapping around it. Notably, the blue material at the heel is as soft as rubber, but other parts are relatively hard. This might be the unique feature of theK-onlytechnology, which effectively disperses the impact force generated during running through the blue material structure to the back of the shoe. This not only enhances shock absorption but also provides a hard wrap for the whitePebaxmaterial at the heel, preventing deformation and extending thePebaxmaterial's resilience and recovery, thereby improving the lifespan of the shoe's shock-absorbing material.Pebaxmaterial's resilience and recovery, thereby improving the lifespan of the shoe's shock-absorbing material.
The insole is thick, consisting of two layers: an upper layer of green breathable mesh and a lower layer of highly elastic light blue material.
These shoes also have a certain degree of night visibility. The toe cap, sides of the toe, and the back of the shoe all have reflectiveLogomarks and reflective strips, enhancing safety during night runs.
2.Daily Road Running, Practical Test
Considering the positioning of long-distance running shoes, I specifically arranged210101122101010111kilometer run, I felt a slight sinking sensation at the toe area when walking to the usual stretching point. This might be due to the significant height difference between the front and back of the shoes. After stretching and starting to run, the sinking sensation at the toe area became less noticeable, possibly because the landing speed of the toe area differs between walking and running.
The previous running shoes I wore provided sufficient arch support and soft, powerful cushioning for the first5kilometers, but the arch support weakened and the cushioning became harder after5kilometers. However, these running shoes provided good arch and cushioning support throughout the entire10kilometers, with noticeable shock absorption.
Drawbacks:
1.The shoes feel heavy, not lightweight running shoes, especially towards the end of the run.
2The rubber sole might be the reason, or it could be due to the internal padding of the shoes, but the landing feels hard, and the landing sound is noticeable, unlike my previous running shoes, which were almost silent throughout the run.
On the third day, I ran a half marathon to fully test the main performance of the running shoes. Coincidentally, Codoon's "North Korea Online Marathon" and "Limassol Online Marathon" were taking place, so I registered for the online half marathon to test the shoes over a longer distance. Throughout the run, the landing felt stable, the shock absorption was excellent, and the arch support was noticeable, but the cushioning at the forefoot weakened towards the end. This might be because the forefoot entered a fatigue phase after running more than3kilometers, causing the sensory nerves to become sluggish. At that moment, I thought if the manufacturer could include10pairs of insoles with each pair of shoes, allowing consumers to rotate them, it could extend the performance recovery period of the insole material to some extent and serve as a unique selling point.2pairs of insoles with each pair of shoes, allowing consumers to rotate them, it could extend the performance recovery period of the insole material to some extent and serve as a unique selling point.
The inner lining of the shoe collar is thick and made of soft material. The tongue material is also soft, providing a noticeable wrap around the ankle, ensuring a high degree of fit between the feet and the shoes, making them comfortable to wear. This greatly reduces foot fatigue, helps maintain a stable running posture over long distances, and is beneficial for long-distance running.
3. Overall Evaluation, Honest Opinion
Despite some minor flaws, the excellent shock absorption makes these shoes worth having!
