Back to Results Teva X-1 Manufacturer: Teva Price: $90 Reviewed in: Jun 2005 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Best Debut Shoe Type: Trail See Specifications Runner's World Awards: Best Debut We Say: The beauty of the X-1 lies in its simplicity. The shoe is light and built low-to-the-ground. Its midsole comes with a flexible plate to protect the foot from roots and sharp rocks while the outsole is made of soft, lightweight rubber to enhance cushioning and traction. The X-1 gets its stability from prominent plastic bands on the upper that work with the laces to wrap the arch. Recommended for lighter weight, biomechanically efficient runners with normal to high arches who prefer a performance trail shoe that offers support and protection. Note: The X-1 runs about a half size big. Wear-tester says: "I traditionally run in a heavier shoe to get more cushioning and stability, but these gave me plenty." -Catherine Unruh, 31, Reading Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Trail Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 Midsole Characteristics: Comes with a flexible plate to protect the foot from roots and sharp rocks.
