My new favorite running shoe.
I've been a notorious heel striker for years. I finally made the plunge and bought a lightweight racing shoe and I can't believe the difference it has made in my stride and my speed. The Green Silence is a very minimalist shoe, and was quite punishing the first couple of times I wore them. After about a week, I learned to adapt to the minimized heel cushioning by incorporating a mid-foot landing. I'm a fairly big guy (195lbs) and have pretty wide feet, but the Green Silence is very accommodating. They have proved comfortable for my longer runs (10 miles) and have completely eliminated the pain I felt with my previous shoes. Yes, you will feel like Ronald McDonald the first few runs, but eventually you will learn to embrace the unique color pattern.
Amazingly light
I run marathons and various triathlon distances, and have done plenty of miles happily on Asics Kayanos. I was worried about the cushioning on such a lightweight shoe when I took them out of the box. But they run beautifully. They are so incredibly light it makes a noticeable difference to my running. Not sure how long they would last given their minimalist design, but I guess we tend to retire our shoes before there are any signs of wear & tear on the upper part of the shoe anyway. The only issue for me is the tongue design - yes the single-fold makes sense in a weight-saving capacity, and once the shoes are on there are no comfort issues (on the contrary they feel great), but if you do triathlons and need to do a fast transition, you need to spend a bit longer to make sure they are put on right. Nevertheless, they are still my new favorite running shoe. JK
