A Good Shoe but….
I decided to try the GlideRide because a store clerk swore by them so I took the plunge. What I learned was this shoe is comfortable and was just too comfortable which made them problematic when I took my long walks. My feet began to hurt… while in the shoe & when I took them off afterwards. Its narrow toebox bothered me & couldn’t keep up with my fast pacing. I had to return them and go back to Hoka
