Surprisingly good running shoe. I’ve seen the Noosa Tri around for many years, always wild colors and patterns, always eye catching. I was always happy with whatever I was running in at the time and always thought…maybe next time. Well, next time finally came and I decided to give the Noosa Tri 16 a shot. Let’s start with the fit…they’re a little on the snug side, I wear an 11 in everything and usually that works out just fine. The Noosa 16 fit more like a 10&3/4 than an 11. Nonetheless they’ve become my brick workout shoes with no socks and I’m really happy with them in that capacity. These shoes excel at every distance I’ve tried them at from a short speed workout to a 13-14mi easy pace day. They feel great for my midfoot strike, roll off the toe really nicely and the foam is amazingly smooth, soft, bouncy and comfortable. The upper breathes well and like I mentioned, 80% of my miles in these are barefoot and the liner of the shoe is soft, smooth and very comfortable.
