After 60 km, a runner enjoys the Balos as a more fun, faster, rockered 1080.

“Really enjoying the Balos. Had to get the black colourway as the white/brown haven't made their way to Australia yet. Have just over 60km in my pair so far. It feels like a more fun, faster, rockered 1080.”

After 30 km in the wide version, a runner finds the Balos soft, smooth and bouncy with good energy return.

“I have about 30 kms on mine (wide version) and they are soft, smooth, and bouncy.”

A runner finds the Balos too soft to hold faster paces after 5-6 miles.

“After 5-6 miles it’s just too soft for me to stay running at faster paces.”

On a 7-mile first run, a runner found the Balos the softest shoe they've felt, lively, heavily rockered and with a snug performance upper.

“This is the softest shoe I have ever felt.”
