As the 5th generation of vemero running shoes, this series was first unveiled in 2010, and the latest generation is now vemero 16. The Vemero 5 I reviewed today is one of the 19-year-old revival shoes, and the first thing I feel about this running shoe is a fusion of retro and functional style, and as a pair of commuter running shoes, it still has a lot of reasons to choose.
First of all, the upper of this retro running shoe uses an open mesh structure, a small amount of synthetic leather material is also covered on the toe part, and this running shoe also has a 3m reflective strip on the upper. In addition to the fabric and leather material, the upper is also covered with a large amount of plastic material, but this plastic material is also hollowed out in a large area, so the weight of the whole pair of running shoes is not very heavy.
The last adjustment of the whole pair of running shoes is very moderate, the foot shape is widely adapted, and the breathability is not bad during the exercise, although it is certainly not as clear as the new running shoes, but it is still completely enough for commuting and casual jogging.
In the midsole part, the configuration of this pair of running shoes is also relatively rich. Cushlon foam is used as a frame on the periphery of the running shoe, and the outer layer of foam material is not as stiff as traditional retro running shoes, and you can feel the compression deformation of the midsole after putting it on the foot. In addition to the foam material on the periphery, Zoom air cushions are used for the front and rear palms.
The first time I experienced this pair of running shoes, its foot feeling completely broke my imagination, generally in my cognitive retro running shoes may only have a good-looking appearance, but the foot feeling will be average or even very bad, but this pair of shoes can bring a soft elastic experience during the exercise, every step will not have any leg shock, and it is no problem to use it as a pair of cushioned jogging shoes. However, in the process of acceleration, there will still be a more obvious sense of discouragement, so if it is daily speed training, don't choose, usually just commuting and casual jogging, which can fully meet the needs of most runners.
The outsole uses a large raised rectangular stripe road, which has a good grip, and although it won't be a strong anti-slip effect, it's enough for jogging and commuting, and it's also very wear-resistant.
As a pair of retro casual running shoes that are not bad in terms of cost performance and comfortable feet, will you choose?
