The same size of women’s shoes is 5mm longer than men’s shoes. The shoe tree is not wide. Large shoe tongue is convenient for putting on and taking off. It reduces the length of shoe tongue and increases the vamp area. If you have high instep, it should be unsuitable.
As it increases the vamp area, after fastening the shoelaces, you can feel the comfortable fitness. The vamp is reinforced with hot-melting material, the supporting performance is good. The insole uses NITRO FOAM cushion. The overall resilience is moderate, and the feedback of rear sole is obvious. The overall performance is great.
