Toe Box back to original size 👏

"Max 3 & 4 toe box was made smaller. Max 5 is back to the original size toe box. So happy because I was never able to find another shoe that fit like the original and 2nd release Trabuco. Colours always a bit off but the latest shoe is the greatest. White sole could have been coloured"

Max Cushion

"Was a massive fan of the 4 and picked up a pair of the new 5’s the day they were in the shop. These shoes are so comfortable especially if you’re running multiple days in a row and suffer from foot soreness in a stiffer shoe. These shoes just seem to absorb so much. I also find they wear really well with my old pair still fairly good after 600 plus kms and these are looking like they will be the same. Just a great shoe."
