Anyone have any experience with these or come across a review? They're cheaper than the EVOs and appear to be lace-up, but it's not clear how else they are different than the EVOs? Not sure they're the shoe for me, but I am curious...
These must be the "mesh" version of the EVO I've been hearing about, but I can't remember from who. They surely didn't give me the name NEO. I see that they are 4mm, which is pretty good for a minimalist shoe. What I want to know is, is there a zero drop differential, or do they have any sort of raised heel?
I can chime in a little here. Yes they are zero drop and yes they are essentially the Evo but mesh plus some other bells and whistles I think. I have a pair on the way to me right now so when they get here for review I will of course fill you guys in!
Those are cool-looking, and the price is a little easier to swallow than the Evo though honestly it's hard for me to spend over $100 on any pair of shoes. Of course, Altra's Adam/Eve will be less expensive, and hopefully ZEM less expensive too. I'm happy to see the options growing!!
I love my Terra Plana Aquas. I have noticed there is like zero heel wear on these shoes. I use them for work, no running. I guess no heel strike while walking in these!
Interesting Larry. I've been wearing a pair of TP Dharmas to work (so very nearly daily) since early spring this year and I am seeing some heel wear, particularly toward the outside portion of the heel, so I clearly still do some heel striking when I walk. Even so, I would expect to get another full year out of these soles (I hope). If not, it's an interesting thought that changing how you use a shoe could affect it's useful life. Who'da thunk it?
