My times were surprisingly good considering the weight on the shoe, and it did not feel as heavy once you hit your paces. When I was landing on my heels, there was a bit of sinking in feel, and it did not transition well in my strides. The ride is much better if you are a mid to forefoot runner. It was barely noticeable, even when running on bigger rocks. Despite this, I felt low to the ground while running, so I intentionally tried to find some rocks to run on to test if I could feel it underfoot. The midsole is rather substantial, with 28mm in the heel and 18mm in the forefoot. The feeling was firm with a bit of bounce, and it took some time to find my rhythm and get a comfortable cadence. On my first run, I realized that the 3D-printed lattice midsole was not bouncy like Boost or plush like many maximalist running shoes you find at the weight of the 4D Run. Surprisingly smooth ride in the 4D Run 1.0 These will not do well for you during speed work or fartleks as the weight will prevent you from increasing your cadence as much as is needed. I find the 4D Run 1.0 best suited for medium to medium-long runs, which I consider in a range of 5 to 13 miles. you need a shoe for long-distance running (in this case, consider the Adizero Boston 10)īest for mid to medium-long runs (5-13miles).you’re a new runner or on a budget (the Runfalcon 2.0 is affordable and can double as a lifestyle shoe).prefer lightweight running shoes (the Adidas SL20 is praised for its light and responsive design).runners looking for some stability and protection underfoot.
