I remember that the last time I came into contact with Wanmi running shoes was the pair of racing training running shoes with removable carbon plates. The design of that pair of shoes gave me a bright feeling. I borrowed those shoes from a running friend. I only tried them on once and my experience with the shoes was not complete, so I have always been somewhat curious about Wanmi's running shoes.
Last week I also received my first pair of Wanmi running shoes, Wanmi light armor.
upper:
upper is designed with fish silk thread and elastic cloth, and the overall wrapping feeling is better. Compared with the mono yarn material used in carbon plate running shoes from other manufacturers, the fish silk thread design used in the light armor feels more durable and has very good breathability. The weather in July does not feel like it is simmering at all.
elastic cloth material gives the entire mid-foot and back palm a very tight wrapping feel. The heel and the last shoelace hole are connected by an embedded movable drawstring, which provides very good wrapping through the friction damping between the drawstring and the shoe body. This design is not only novel, but the actual wearing experience is also very good. The device is officially named "Soft Hedgehog Armor", but have the designers ever thought that a simpler name is actually easier for everyone to remember?
The shoe last design of the entire pair of shoes is very suitable for Chinese feet. Compared with other carbon plate running shoes, the forefoot space of the light armor is very sufficient. My feet are on the thin side, so I feel a little hollow in the forefoot design of almost all domestic carbon plate running shoes and ASICS running shoes.
Light Armor The rear half of the shoe is designed with elastic cloth. During the actual running process, the upper is always close to the feet and has very good wrapping properties. My biggest regret about the upper of this pair of shoes is the color. I prefer the pure green light armor, but the customer service told me that some of them are out of stock, so I still blame the designer.
Midsole:
Midsole configuration:
The midsole configuration of Wanmi Light Armor is just like that of domestic cars, we have given it to you. There are three airbags built into the front and rear palms. Due to the rigidity of the carbon plate in the forefoot, I don’t feel the airbag is obvious. However, if the speed is reduced to four and a half or even five minutes, and when the rear palm is used to land, it can You can clearly feel the feedback from the rear palm air bag.
The amount of foam accumulation in the entire pair of shoes is very considerable, and you can clearly feel that the midsole of the entire pair of shoes has a widened design. The foam in the heel extends upwards for great stability.
midsole experience:
Due to time constraints, I only experienced it three times, twice at 20km and once at 10km. My actual experience is that the entire pair of shoes is very tolerant.
The carbon plate in the midsole is very rigid, and the vacuum foam material feels very soft and elastic.
can clearly feel the feedback of the material when training with the forefoot, and there is no obvious attenuation within 20km. The upturned angle of the forefoot is very large, and the propulsion force is also very strong. The combination of a large amount of foam and air bags in the back palm has obvious cushioning, and it is also easy to control for heavy runners with certain training.
outsole: The thickness of the
outsole is very impressive. There is no obvious wear for fifty kilometers. The anti-slip and wear resistance of asphalt pavement and cement floor are very good. I recently returned to my hometown and there is no open plastic track nearby. If so, test again later.
Summary: The forefoot rebound performance of
light armor is very good and can be worn as a speed training shoe. The midsole foam material has a stable cushioning effect and is friendly to both normal and heavy weight runners. The editor's 178.125cm figure can clearly feel the feedback from the midsole, and can be used for long-distance training within six inches.
Carbon plate running shoes generally have poor stability, and the same goes for this pair of light armor. You can clearly feel the deformation of the upper during very sharp turns, but the midsole of this pair of shoes is widened and foamed. The upward extension design improves the stability of the entire pair of shoes, which is very friendly to some runners who are heavier but have a certain running foundation.
Whether it is the material used for the upper or the adjustment of the midsole, it is not difficult to see that the Wanmi Light Armor is a very sincere pair of running shoes. However, the weight of 250g is definitely not considered outstanding among carbon plate running shoes, because the wrapping is very good, and the entire pair of shoes does not feel any obvious drag during actual running, and even very heeling. Since the upper can be made so well, I believe that the weight of the next generation of light armor can also be made very well.
