Pros:

ONEMIX Light Armour Road Running Shoes is a good option for both competitive runners and those dedicated to training.

  • These shoes come with a well-engineered mesh upper that ensures breathability and a comfortable fit, supporting your foot during the rigors of miles on the track.
  • The lightweight midsole foam delivers excellent responsiveness and cushioning, optimizing energy transfer for an efficient stride.
  • One standout feature is the non-slip outsole, equipped with high-abrasion elastic rubber, ensuring remarkable durability and consistent traction, enhancing your speed and stability as you run.
  • The built-in carbon fiber insole plate elevates the shoe’s rigidity, providing a constant push and enhancing overall performance.

Cons:

  • Despite having a super breathable mesh, there was something off about how the upper fits. I feel there was too much room in the tox box.
  • I really like the concept of a heel tension belt that connects the top lace loop but I couldn’t get the heel tension belt to work as intended. I hope One Mix can refine it in future.
