Marc Siques Llagostera, Badwater Finisher 2022 and ultramarathon runner
"The shoe is very comfortable and well cushioned. And this feeling does not disappear when you walk in it for a longer time. Thanks to its wide toe-box, it gives you a stable walking feeling. And you appreciate that when you walk in it for many hours. (...) I would definitely recommend the shoe. And if I find it in a shop in Spain one day, I will try it again. The one I have now has already done a lot of kilometres."
