Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: The Perfecto stays true to Loco's back-to-basics philosophy. The midsole features standard foam with a plug of softer material in the heel for added impact protection. And while this shoe is in the cushioning category, it has a post on the medial (inner) side for added stability, so not surprisingly our Shoe Lab tests showed the Perfecto to be a relatively stiff shoe. This, combined with the full carbon outsole, makes it a durable choice for bigger runners with normal to high arches.


Widths: Standard

"The unisex sizing sounds like a good idea, but these definitely felt like men's shoes." -Liesel Small, 30, Allentown
