Snappy with a soft upper and good energy return, though the narrow fit is the main downside.

How the signal works
The signal score

A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.

So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

Mixed

First run in the Takumi Sen 11: more unstable and narrower than the AP4, forcing them onto the forefoot, but legs felt good after a threshold run, heart rate stayed controlled, and the upper is soft with plenty of toe room.

Negative

Sent the Takumi Sen 11 back: the curved last, midfoot cutouts and very narrow rear aren't supportive enough for longer distances, though the upper is soft.

Mixed

A 22:30 5K runner finds the Takumi Sen 11 fine: light, a bit flimsy upper, slightly less stable, and no miracles in speed work.
