Robyn Hardage has been testing the BIOM B’s for a few of weeks. Here are her thoughts on how the shoes have improved her running.
I came from a generic stability shoe and transitioned quite easily into the BIOM B. Before trying this shoe, I never even thought that I could benefit from a performance shoe. I always thought that they were reserved for those elite runners I see fly by during a race!
My first impression of the shoe was that it was unique with its Yak leather upper and lightweight sole. This impression still holds true but there is more to the BIOM B than its good looks! After spending some more time in my ECCO BIOM B shoes, the difference between the BIOM B and my regular running shoes is becoming more evident. I have noticed that the shape and the feel of the shoe seems to propel my foot forward through each stride. The shoe’s design is meant to give your foot more efficient movement and so the spring in my step is probably the result of a faster transfer of energy from rear to forefoot. Oddly enough, it is more comfortable to maintain a high turnover rate than to jog slowly.
Overall, I think that the BIOM B is a shoe that can benefit any level of runner. And hey, if you look and feel good… your running is bound to improve!
