CTM Ultra 3 Running Shoe (Men)

I tried this pair only to give an unfamiliar brand a chance. I decided to return the pair primarily on account of its poor quality, substandard material, and loud aesthetic. Everything above the sole is just a mesh, with no padding or cushion. It is completely see through and appears flimsy. I did not think that it would have lasted a month. The laces were clearly the cheapest available, and with a paper thin tongue, actually hurt my feet. The edges touching my ankles were sharp and just putting the shoes on suggested that the edges would cut my skin. The mesh upper would definitely be good for breathability but nothing else. The sole did seem comfortable without being too soft. Also, I have very narrow feet and Hoka's normal width is fairly roomy for me. This shoe was one of the narrowest i have ever purchase. At $160+, these sneakers would struggle to find runners.
