No break-in required. Unanimously, testers agreed the shoe feels velvety soft upon step in. That's because the seamless engineered mesh upper with 3D-printed overlays is soft and hotspot free, and a plush around-the-ankle cuff of cushioning adds even more luxury (seriously, we wore these shoes comfortably around the office [sans socks!] all day as soon as they arrived in the mail).
Deb Doyle, of Pittsburgh, Penn., has already logged over 300 miles to date in the Ikoni. She says, “I noticed the cushioning right away. And it’s not that sink-into-marshmallow cushioning feeling; it’s a nice, responsive cushioning, like a performance shoe.”
The forefoot may appear narrow from the outside, but most testers were pleasantly surprised with the amount of wiggle room they experienced after just a few strides. Still, low-volume to normal-width feet will feel the most at home here.
