 Alright guys, it's time for another shoe review. I'm out here. It's freezing cold almost minus 10 degrees Celsius We're gonna talk about the lone peak 3.0 neo shell mid edition from ultra So first of all as I've said before and I'm gonna say it again in this video I'm a big fan of the ultra brand, you know They do things a little bit differently from other shoe brands in a nutshell the key Aspects of an ultra shoe is that it is a zero drop shoe So it says there's zero drop and that means that there is no drop from heel to toe. It's a flat shoe Allowing for optimal biomechanics It's not really natural to have that high heel that a lot of other running shoes have so that's that allows for a more 4-foot type of landing and that's a good thing the other thing that's significant about ultra shoes is that they have this Wide toe box. It's pretty wide here in front and that's because that's how a foot looks Your your toes should be able to splay out when you're running that gives you a better sort of feel for the ground and again It's a it's a more natural Biomechanical sort of pattern. So those two aspects make ultra shoes Something I really really enjoy Let's talk about this shoe in particular. I have a fair few ultra shoes and I also have Three different loan peak shoes. I have essentially this model just without the top here So just a normal shoe. That's what I'm actually wearing right now That's another review all together and then I also have one without the nail shell That I have spikes in and I'll talk about that another time too got this a couple of months ago And I'm really happy about it What sets this shoe apart obviously from the other models from ultra and normal running shoes is this part here and This essentially why is it? Why is it there? Well, this is more of a hiking shoe really like it really shines when it comes to hiking and Especially now during winter. I thought to myself, you know, I'd like a shoe for my everyday Just needs That I also can run in Because one of the things with the snow is obviously that if you don't have a high Thing here. I don't know what to call this if you don't have this high thing Things will you get snow into your shoe all the time, right? I'm just way walking around in these They'll get there'll be snow coming into my shoe. So this allows for a little bit more protection against that And against rocks and all that kind of stuff when you're walking. So I actually use this for the most part As an everyday shoe. I I wear it every day and I love it. It's also pretty warm But I have Went on a couple of runs with it too though and it's really really nice. I mean a Con obviously would be that it is slightly heavier than The normal lone peak or other running shoes, although still pretty light that I think around 377 grams which is still pretty light So I mean I would when I lift it up like this It's like wow, that's a light shoe and people that see it and pick it up for the first time They always go like what that's light. So it is a light shoe, but of course it is heavier than some other light shoes It's pretty stiff Which is good, but it also means that heading out on a run with these shoes It does feel pretty Clumpy like I don't know like it feels like you have a big block of something on your foot, which of course you do It's a big shoe So I you know, I wouldn't say that this is my favorite running shoe But then again, it depends on the conditions because what this shoe is good for is really like tough Wet or snowy conditions obviously if you're running on ice and it's slippery you should probably have spikes underneath But if not if you're just running on snow if you're running on trails And there's a little bit of snow that you have to run in this is just this is excellent because you're able to not get Snow in there and there's also a gator trap back here Which means you can put gators on it and you wouldn't get any snow or rocks or anything in there It's also pretty good for like if you were heading out in really like gnarly conditions wet muddy crazy conditions You know, this would probably be a good idea to use Mountain kind of stuff and then there's there's the neo shell technology which essentially is It's waterproof. It's not entirely waterproof. You can't stand in water with it But it's pretty waterproof Yet breathable from the inside and that's that's pretty that's pretty remarkable. You can it's a breathable shoe yet It is quite waterproof So again for those kind of extreme conditions and if you're running in the snow, etc. It's nice. It's nice to have that extra bit of Protection I find the soul is pretty pretty tough. I mean it has a really good You know grip and not only it just like does it have a good grip on the trails, etc But it actually has a really good Grip on like just snow and even ice I mean I went for a few runs without spikes in my shoes like when I go out with these You would think that I would like slip around, but it's actually pretty good grip So yeah, I'm impressed with in general the lone peaks again this shoe as well the grip is It's remarkable in my opinion cushioning wise. It's it's moderate. It's not like super light It's not heavy either Somewhat of a moderate cushioning kind of thing. I like it. It's an all-round Tough shoe right if you want to go hiking in the mountain in the snow If you want to go out in pretty tough conditions if you go running if you go walking even as an everyday shoe I find this shoe is a it's a really good choice It is lightweight yet, of course a little bit heavier than some other shoes from ultra It's a good shoe just to have in your repertoire of shoes That's what I think it's just it fits some conditions very well And the only calm that I can come up with as I said is it's really that when you're running in these shoes It doesn't really feel as minimal and sort of Free as as some other lightweight more sort of movable shoes, but That's the point though.
