361 Degrees Mens Meraki Running Athletic

After going through two sets of Mizuno Wave Skys, I was hesitant on going with anything else. Instead of going for the Wave Sky 2 when it came out, I gave these a try and I believe it was for the better. Fit is great, comfortable, and I love the colors. The one thing I didn’t like about them was that the tongue was separate from the shoe, unlike the Wave Sky where the tongue is attached and fits much more like a sock. However, I can hardly notice the difference since the tongue stays put and doesn’t bother me at all. I am definitely going to continue purchasing the Meraki from now on and go one degree beyond!

I'm trying these as an alternative to my last pair of Hokas, which caused a lot of blister issues. I'm still in the "breaking in" phase but I like them so far. They are much more in the cushioning range of the Asics Kayano series, which I have become less enamored with over the last several years (the last model I truly cared for was the 19). I'm interested to see what the tread life is with this model. Not a 4-star review yet, but certainly trending that way.

After logging an 8M and 5M run tread on shoe already shows visible wear along the outer front of the bottom of the shoe, I don’t expect them to last I typically get a few hundred miles from a pair from different brands.

This was a nice looking shoe, however, support seemed to be lacking. Forefoot area was not flat and bothered my front toe.
