In recent years, major domestic brands have been deeply cultivating in the field of lightweight running shoes, and almost every product has a pair of lightweight running shoes that are very handy.
In terms of positioning, this pair of Zhiqing 6 is also a pair of lightweight running shoes suitable for low-to-medium speed operation, which can take into account both daily commuting and light sports.
In order to enhance the strength of the upper, the upper is also covered with a large number of transparent hot-pressed materials, and the toe cap and part of the covering on both sides can further enhance the local strength. This kind of three-dimensional cutting and PP film covering is also a common solution for lightweight running shoes, which has good strength and can also control the weight of the shoe.
As a running shoe for summer use, the upper of this pair of running shoes has also made a lot of perforation treatment, air permeability and light transmittance make it an excellent summer running shoes, and at the same time, 6 groups of lace buckles are used, which is also more obvious for mid-waist wrapping, and the tongue uses a through-type central hole, which will not cause obvious tongue deviation during exercise.
The midsole uses full-length Feather foam cushioning, which is also a lightweight cushioning material in the Xtep running shoe matrix. In the initial stage, this pair of running shoes gave me a more resilient experience, and after a slow run-in, the soft elasticity will follow, not the kind of midsole depression into the sense of relief, and it will also give a certain rebound response in the case of acceleration. In addition, the two sides of the midsole protrude slightly, forming a certain arch support, and at the same time, a good arch support piece is built-in, so I think the torsion resistance and support of the whole pair of running shoes are still good.
The reason why the midsole has such a soft elastic feeling, I think it is also inseparable from the configuration of the outsole, just like most lightweight running shoes, this pair of light 6 generations also uses a large area of rubber-free outsole, which can greatly reduce the weight of the shoe body, and more importantly, the soft elastic attribute of the midsole will be significantly increased, but the shortcomings are also obvious, not wear-resistant.
Overall, this pair of Xtep lightweight running shoes can fully meet the needs of beginners.
