I Ran the Houston Half Marathon in this Shoe!

This shoe was created for the Houston Marathon, and I ran the half (13.1) with it. That was my 66th half marathon and was very happy with the feel along with my time! The colors and lone star styling are a great touch. The 1.5 version of the shoe has a slightly lighter upper over the Mestari Run 1.0, so it is very comfortable. Mestari Run has been my goto shoe for a couple of years now -- way better than Hoka. I truly love what Karhu did here.
