Most peole talk about walking in Europe etc. Is this shoe good for treadmill, eliptical, light running?

It wouldn't be bad, I would stick to running or cross trainer for that tho. These shoes are more rigid and better used for outside. You don't want to wear out your good hikers inside on a treadmill....

Hi - I purchased these shoes several months and love them. I use them for cross training, hiking and walks with my dog, so i would say, yes, to the treadmill and eliptical. Hope this helps!

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

Hi, my boyfriend is using this shoe for indoor cycling only. He doesn't have an outside road bike - so, I am not sure if it would work or not. Sorry, I can't really advise on the outside riding.

I used this to walk all around Europe on cobbled stone streets and sidewalks. It worked great.

Sorry i just walk my dogs - no running. I would have thought they would be ok, but depending on the thickness of the soles of the shoes you are using you might feel the studs so it might not be very comfortable after a while. They are very stable though so you wouldn't slip!

Never tried Europe but yes it's pretty lightweight. Just be careful of the night light ring when packing.

This splint is made to be firm for when you are resting your foot, you can try to walk in it, but it will not be a good idea. You have to wear this when it is "LIGHTS OUT" and you don't have to move or go anywhere. It is not made for walking.

yes it would! I still use it as a ankle support while doing high endurance running on the treadmill. It is good for preventing ankle injuries!

Yes. Very simple manual operation on this one. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but is well built. Note that the walking/running deck is very solid. A lot of treadmills in this price range have softer decks. This one is built sturdy and can take a hammering while running. If you like the softer/spongier feel of some treadmills for walking, you might consider another brand. Good luck!

I am not a runner but I do walk A LOT. I have had mine well over a year and they r as comfy as the day I bought them. I have tried so many and these are the most comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet along with a bone spur on my right heel and I am in no pain at the end of a long day.

It is an excellent treadmill....a lot more than I had expected...includes a fan to keep you cool during workouts....it displays distance in km/miles which ever mode you prefer, the format is 0.001.... 0.002... 0.003....etc. Hope this helps!

Yes, b/c that's what I want to use it for, for a treadmill sit/stand desk set-up, walking between 0.5 and 2.0 mph, just to keep the circulation going and give me energy for my real workouts. The TreadDesk company says you need a stronger continous hp motor b/c the low but constant use is more taxing on the mechanism. That is also why I'm looking at the Merit 725T Plus treadmill. Check out the specs. Much higher. Newer model.

Works fine in walking as long as it has battery life left. I used it in Germany last year and plugged it in at night for a full charge and it went for hours.

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

I have ran in the narrow. It was very comfortable. After using the narrow I don't think I could use the wide version. However, the wide may be more comfortable for running but you have better arm movement with the narrow. Better arm movement allows you to do more activities in the vest. The biggest factor is not overdoing it with the weight. But yes the narrow is comfortable and good for running. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions you may have.
