Nov 2006 Shoe Guide
We say: Designed in collaboration with ultrarunner Dean Karnazes, the Arnuva replaces traditional laces with a unique click-and-turn closure system at the back of the shoe that tightens the upper around the foot. The upper features nearly see-through arch panels for outstanding breathability, and the overlays are welded, not stitched, to reduce blister risk. Recommended for runners with high arches who run on a combination of roads and trails in hot or wet conditions and need a breathable shoe.
Wear-testers say: "I like how easy it is to tighten the laces, but the shoe sits a little too far up my ankle."--Patrick Connolly, 42, Allentown
"The shoe has good traction."--Jamie Hibell, 34, Allentown
