Joe Nimble - Addict Pro-R - Running shoes tested

I was excited to try out the shoe as it is a rarity in my country (Poland). Unfortunately, they didn't not come up to my expectations. Why? Even though the midsole material is great, there's way too much thick rubber coverage (in the red/pink version even more than in the yellow version-that's really weird) and it makes the whole sole unit like a solid brick! Ok, the Vibram rubber may last forever, but come on, the shoe has to flex to make the foam do its job. The tongue is too thin, therefore provides insufficient protection against lace bite. Finally, the fot-shaped toebox is not fully compatible with the Roman foot shape (the Altra and Topo toeboxes fit me perfectly). In summary, they may have wanted to make the shoe great, but it's overdone - too heavy and too clunky, it weighs more than all my trail shoes, which is unacceptable.
