A very soft and light shoe! Thanks to the Fitlock™ system, the shoe hugs and locks securely around the foot and last, while your toes can splay in the generous toe box. The sole is very soft yet still offers a lively, responsive bounce. The shoes are wide but fairly low in volume over the toes. Xter has a 10 mm drop, and you can feel it—so if you’re used to flat or minimal shoes, this might not be the one. Annika has wide, fairly high-volume feet and the fit is excellent on her. Because the lacing extends far down over the instep, it’s easy to fine-tune the fit, making it work for many foot shapes. “My first thought is that they’re so light and roll beautifully.” If you value cushioning/drop and want a stable, locked-in fit with responsive rebound and a roomy toe box, this model is a clear choice.
