Is it worth the price?
Is it worth the price?
great question. at $80, i think it's the most overpriced shoe on the wall. for $10 more you have the kinvara...in my opinion the best running shoe made today. but if you want a closed-toe minimalist shoe without the padding of the kinvara, fork over the extra $20 for a set of new balance minimus.
tldr: no.
NB Minimus are the best thing to happen to distance running in the last 10 years!! also they are really ugly
We sell the Hattori at the running shop I work PT at. I've tried the show on and it is very light. Too light for me to do any kind of running in. That said, it is very comfortable to wear after a run or bike ride. $80 isn't too unreasonable to ask for this shoe. I wish they made it in all black though. Also, it is best to wear this show without socks.
