Does Not Live Up To The Hype

Check Reddit reviews y'all, not paid reviewers - this shoe does NOT live up to the hype. (I have never encountered someone IRL who actually prefers this model to the V4...) I put +700 miles on pairs of Rebel V4s which I love, but the V5 sadly takes several bounds in the wrong direction. The V5 feels pleasantly cushy when you first slip it on, but the fun stops there. For me, it's arch cramps, every. single. time. I have never had this issue in other shoes, V4s, plated, etc. Changes to the stack height and foam composition is also causing folks to complain about a less stable ride, and in my experience, a less responsive shoe. The tongue is also weirdly thick to the point where you can feel the fabric on the top of your foot creasing with each step?! NB, I'm hitting up your factory outlet for all the V4s I can grab and then I'll need to look elsewhere for my daily trainer :'(

Feather Light

I’m sorry but these might be lighter than a feather and the comfort packed in seems crazy but these shoes are phenomenal!!!!

Comfy But Color Shy

Comfortable sneakers with good absorption on the return. Wish the toe box was a bit wider but otherwise a good shoe. Wish they had.a variety of color options

Best Tennis Shoe

I have wide feet and I am on them for an average of 16 hrs a day as a personal trainer. They help me maintain healthy feet
