The tongue is attached to the shoe underneath the eyelets and stays in place well on a run, whilst remaining easy to get on and off, and the laces stayed tied and tight throughout wearing. This extra padding and overlays do the shoe no favours in the weight department either. Overlays on the seams and toe box add to the durability and lifespan of the shoe. Even the outsole pattern with its deep grooves are what I’d look for in a great designed shoe.
I love a chunky shoe and this one looks fantastic.Īll the colorways are spot on and could be easily worn outside of a workout. The outsole in the first Renew Run and the second iteration are identical, with small design changes made to the swoosh.Īlthough not as impressive, of the previous shoes I’ve been testing recently the Renew Run is my favorite looks-wise. As my legs became more tired the sole unit felt hard and I didn’t get a great energy return from the shoe.Īesthetically the shoe has many similarities to the first Renew Run, with the only visible changes being the shaping around the collar and tongue to add in more support. This was most noticeable after 5km, making my calves ache much more than usual. On the first run along a wet gravel canal path, the shoe picked up lots of mud and stones both in the outsole grooves and midsole pattern, which contributed to an even heavier shoe. The feel on the foot is most similar to the Winflo range but feels more rigid, padded, and weighty.

On the foot, the fit is true to size lengthwise (I’d go up ½ or full size on your regular shoes), and regular width.
It’s very structured and tough, but locks the foot down well, with no complaints on the comfort or fit side. When first putting the shoe on, you notice the excess padding around the tongue and ankle first. My women’s UK size 6.5/ EU 40.5 weighs in at 308g. By far the heaviest running shoe I’ve worn recently coming in heavier than the Winflo 7, React Miler, and Downshifter 10. The first thing to note about the Renew Run is the weight.
