I'd be more interested if it looked more durable. I generally put 100 miles a week in my shoe, and while this does look pretty interesting, I don't see just how this would fare in my workouts. Be a shame if I bought them and only a month later they'd be falling apart.
@OwlNeckHarbor You have no idea who this person is. For all you know he could be an ex-international champion who picked up a career ending injury. I work in the industry, had a meeting with a now over weight rep last week - guess what, his u23 records set in 1989 are still inside the top 5 all time. Don't judge a book by its cover. Or, he could just work in the marketing department...
I am using them for kayaking. They are snug enough to stay put when wet, the sole protects my feet when I'm carrying my boat over stones and gravel, and they dry fast. Don't know how long they'll last, but for this season they're a hit!!
@Wimshicle These are extremely light, Saucony claims they are 4.4 ounces each, much lighter than their 6.7 ounce Kilkenny spikes. I own both and I prefer the spikes on any surface that requires extra grip (I usually leave the spikes out if there is any gravel or pavement) like wet grass and muddy trails. But the Hattori is much better on surfaces where grip is not important like pavement, dry grass, and easy trails. I would recommend these shoes especially if you do a lot road road races.
More cushioning? Who the hell where they talking to? A minimalist runner would never ask for more cushioning. This guys doesn't know what he's talking about. Even if he's reading off a script, you couldn't pay me enough to make a fool of myself like that.
looks like it would loose it's traction after about half a mile but whatever

Not to sound like an asshole but when I am being "sold" a running shoe the person doing the selling should probably look like a runner.

@OwlNeckHarbor the only place this guy's running to is the fridge or maybe the local dominos
