  • RunRepeat : 64.6 / 100 — « From our perspective, the KURU Triple Max Ion caters to a very specific crowd.

It also delivers a high-quality upper with reliable ventilation, and outstanding arch support. But if you’re a forefoot striker, or if performance and weight matter, you’ll most likely want to look elsewhere. »
