I started considering the flux runner in my continuing search for a running shoe that would alleviate the issues I have with my feet, which are wide at the toe box but normal/narrow at the heel. Id often find shoes that fit the width of my toes comfortably but slip in the heel, so I thought I'd give the flux runners a try.

The toe box is very roomy, though maybe not quite where my foot is the widest. That said, the stretchy material makes it comfortable for my toes and snug at the heel for a good running experience.

Zero drop is new to me and it definitely took a few runs to get used to. I took my first few runs with them easy but after a few workouts was able to get used to them. I've found with a zero drop that a solid mid foot strike is easier to achieve once I got use to my foot feeling like it was unusually flexed. Since I've gotten used to them I've been able to comfortably put in about 25-30 miles a week.

For sizing, I usually wear street shoes in. 9.5, but running shoes in a 10 or 10.5. on the guidance of the site I purchased a 9.5, but if I had to do it over id go for a 10. My right foot, which is closer to a 10 street shoe size definitely hits the front of the shoe when I run in excess of 4 of 5 miles.

The hardest thing to get used to with these shoes is the abrupt roll through on the toe. At first it felt like I might tip forward completely as my stride rolled through to my forefoot, but I have gradually gotten used to it. The abrupt transition to the toe…

Definitely love the space in the toe box and after a few weeks of wearing these, I feel like the adapt soles cushion my feet really well! Definitely will be getting another pair.

My only thing is getting used to is that I have to wear socks so my feet slide a bit with the soles, but I might try some different socks too.

2 things caught my eye with this shoe. 1. The colors. 2. The wide two box. I have neutral feet but have a hard time running in shoes with over cushion. I ran 10 miles in them and had no problem! I don’t know how they will do for half or full marathon but it’s a good daily running shoe! It only took me one run to break in. Buying my second pair soon!
