Runners ask a lot of their running shoes these days. And as the designers of said running shoes, we're okay with that. In fact, we welcome the challenge. A few of the asks we've gotten over the years: Flexibility, for packing in even the most overstuffed gym bag. We've heard, "Make them lightweight enough to lug around all day," especially when a post-work workout is on the docket. They've got to be comfortable enough for short and long runs. And they've got to look cool. Because who's really into nerdy-looking running shoes, anyway? Enter: the Shintai Runner, which checks all the boxes, and more.
