I struggled with running due to foot pain and chronic plantar fasciitis. I feel like for the first time in life I have a consistent Gate pattern and I am finally getting sore in the right places.
I brought for grandson who runs track. He really likes these shoes.
I bought the negative heels for 2 reasons - one to help my posture and lower back pain, and two to get a leverage advantage playing double-bass on the drums. I don't know that the first one has made much of a difference, but I now rely on these antepes whenever I play the drums.
Sizing down twice to fit my bones from when I was most athletic, rather than fitting my corns, callouses, and old injuries, has given the shoes extra value. 13' s were great, but the 12's are fantastic, as that is my "twenty five year old" shoe size. I wear them climbing San Francisco' s hills, and shooting baskets on a half dozen indoor and outdoor courts. As long as you make them, I will probably be buying them. Nothing else comes close to the 1 cm negative drop. I think someone made a shoe with a one inch negative drop thirty five years ago, and it was too much for me, but some people could handle it. Anyway, very happy with this. Thank you very much.
I’m loving these Antepes! Great alternative to a sprint spike. I can actually sprint on concrete or in the street. They cushion like a jogging shoe but perform & feel like a sprint spike. Saving wear and tear on my feet & legs. Very pleased with the purchase.
I am a 46 year old who is starting sprinting again after 20 years. That's why the support that the Muscle Runners offer me when running forefoot is simply irreplaceable. I noticed the difference on the first run! The delivery to Germany was unproblematic and took just a few days.
I love how they keep me from running flat and my coach recommends my whole team to get it they are great
It really made my sprinting routine better. It stands above all running shoes ive tried before.
Looking forward to get a New pair ASAP!!
Running as it should be! They fit true to size, in my case, US Men 8.5, Euro 42.
These shoes were exactly what I expected. I plan on using them in training and as well in competition in short road races.
When I first put the shoes on they felt like my hurdle spikes, except without the spikes and in the form of a training shoe. These shoes allowed me to be able to run in full sprinting form which I really liked. Moreimportantly, these shoes allow you to sprint and run more efficiently as a sprinter and middle distance runner, but your body has to be ready for these shoes, much like sprint shoes. I really like them.
I recently purchased these two items after many years of sprinting. I have finally found the perfect training partner, when not wearing spikes. Not only are the muscle runners the Closest runners you can get to spikes, followed up with the Sue crusher. They are the perfect compliment for a sprinter. Well done guys excellent product.
These shoes were everything as advertised!! So far they are best training shoes I have bought!! They feel amazing on my feet and my legs feel great after working out!! WILL DEFINITELY buy them again
This review is from my very first training session last week wearing these shoes. I will be able to give a proper review in a few months time. Basically the shoes felt brilliant whilst putting them on. Lovely and snug with a true to size fitting. Didn't take me long to run as the shoes force you to. Did a great speed session and was amazed how fast I was running. This was followed by a plyometrics session. I was able to perform repetitive bounds with excellent technique. So far I'm loving the shoes. Although the athletics season only has a couple of months left, I’m sure I can improve my performance within this time. These shoes will be used in all of my winter training sessions (speed work, hills, and plyometrics), and I'm confident my performance in the triple jump will improve due to a better running technique in the 2025 season.
Tried them a couple of times, they definitely do what they promised!! They push to run forefoot, they makes calves working more, and they make you fly faster than any other running shoes!!! I LOVE THEM, and I’m going to get another pair, as spare shoes!
The best running I’ve ever put on my feet very comfortable and light weight they feel exactly like a maxfly
I like these as they’re a good transitional shoe to actual Track shoes. They have enough cushioning For your joints, but at the same time while you’re Achilles tendon to fully load up and spring with each step in a sprint or a jump. Highly recommend
As a sprinter this shoe has helped me so much in making sure my foot strikes are with the correct part of the foot. I feel the correct muscles working and I feel myself getting faster. Has to be the best running shoe purchase I have ever made! 10/10
Awesome for sprint training! Will be buying another pair after these wear down. Will always have them in my shoe collection for weekly training!
I bought this to help shift my weight into my heels while standing and it definitely works. I am having a bit of rubbing on the heels and the achilles alignment “horns” are kind of annoying and feel unnecessary. I like the fabric a lot and they feel really good on my feet. Overall though, I think they’re a quality shoe that fulfilled my need when there isn’t much out there with this heel drop.
I don't wear the shoes, but they are a high quality shoe. I've owned many running shoes over the years and these would compete with any runners you compare them to in looks and structure.
