Kiprun Long 2, Running Shoes, Women's

I'm a neutral runner and run around 30-35 miles per week. The shoes are fine - a little less roll/propulsion than I might like, but nothing to complain about. My problem with the shoes is that the hard plastic part in the mid-sole has started to squeak, on each foot strike (started at around 100 miles). On both feet. Can be overcome with loud music, but is pretty annoying and as a result I would not buy these again.

These shoes are supposed to be good for a mid to long run. I have run a max of 5 miles in these on each run and find that they make the balls of feet sore and even blister and I’ve only done a total of 80 miles in them.

I bought last year's model in the sales as an impulse purchase, after liking the look of them and trying them on in store. They're really comfortable, probably even more so than my main shoe, the Brooks Adrenaline. I have narrow feet and overpronate. I use superfeet insoles in all my running shoes, including these. I've run probably 150 miles in them so far. I tend to use them for runs up to 10 miles, though that's simply because I prefer to wear my adrenalines for longer runs as they're specifically for over pronators. I'm sure they'd be fine over 10 miles though. The grip felt a bit off at 1st but improved after a bit of use. I'll be keeping an eye in the sales later in the year for another bargain, though you can't really complain at the current price.

Good firm and comfortable grip around ankle and excellent sole design that reduces ankle pain even on long walks.

1st week it was good but day by day some crack I can see in sole of shoe and now sole is coming out from the shoe

Worth price

I needed arch support for my flat feet. These shoes are really expensive at Rs.5,499. But the ARKSTAB (great name btw) is so comfortable! I use these as my daily-wear shoes, I haven't tried running in them.

Bought these shoes for my mother who is a 71 year old avid walker. She finds it comfortable for even long walks (~10km). The mesh is breathable and keeps the feet well ventilated. A tad expensive compared to the others in the collection but seems worth it.

I was looking for running shoes for distances of around 10-15 K, and the person in the running department convinced me to buy these and said he'd run several marathons in them. He also said these shoes support over-pronation and all other stride types for that matter, and that the special cushioning supports the knees. I tested the shoes on the in-store treadmill for a few minutes and they seemed okay. But I was wrong. They don't provide enough support for longer durations. I've done 5 runs in them, and the experience has been painful. Foot arc pain (in spite of the ArkStab support), shin splints, heel pain, and ankle pain during and after the runs. It felt like there was no cushioning or support whatsoever, and no flexibility in the front of the shoe. Also, the shoe is quite heavy once you hit longer distances and it feels like you are supporting the weight of the shoe instead of vice versa. I felt this on the first two runs itself, and did a couple others just to make sure it was indeed the shoe. And this happened every time I used the shoe. Disappointed, as this is one of the more expensive shoes in Decathlons running range, and I bought it only at the insistence of the person in the running department that these shoes were supportive based on his experience. I've been a long-time Decathlon customer, and would always recommend their products, but this one is the rare exception.

So far I’m extremely happy with these shoes. Fantastic cushioning and support. Will be interesting to see how well they last.

I've had these for a month now, and done various road runs of 60-100mins. I find them comfy and no problems as yet. I take a size 39 in normal shoes but always go with size 40 for running so chose size 40 again. Before this I had to return a non-Decathlon pair for being too narrow so was pleased to find some that feel right as I like space around my toes.
