"i have completely fallen in love with the PI eMotion line of shoes. They are natural feeling, yet protective and supportive, too. Going sockless is tooo easy."jeffnboise

(5)

Ease of use

really open at the tongue-easy to get a wet, dirty foot into.

(5)

Quality of Construction

So far seems really good. No glue spots, errant threads etc.

(5)

Fit

eMotion shoes (I have 2 pair, now) are hands down the best shoes I've ever worn sockless. hardly no break-in is required.

(5)

Comfort

They feel 'natural'. If I don't notice my shoes-that's a good thing.

(5)

Adjustability

The laces have these little fat bumps in them to keep them from getting loose. Also, the laces cross the tongue in 2 spots at the top eyeley-this keeps the tongue centered on the top of the foot. GREAT IDEA.

(4)

Value

100.00 for ANY shoes seems high to me, but I didn't pay 100.00. lol

(5)

Appearance

Wow! These shoes are cool looking. You better be able to BRING IT with these colors.

(5)

Performance

First run right out of the box was a sockless, Xterra practice. They KILLED it! I've put about 15 miles on them so far. Sand, hard pack, street, sockless and with socks. I simply forget I'm wearing them.

Strengths

great sock-free fit, little fat-spots on laces keep them from slipping.

Weakness

They seem to be cheat grass magnets. The material is so soft that it seems easy for sharp weeds and such to poke through.
