JC Cortez takes us through his first impressions of the BIOM C’s.
I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for ECCO’s BIOM C running shoes to be delivered. They were delivered late in the day and I had already run my scheduled 8 miler that day, so I was bummed that I couldn’t take them out until the following day. The box they came in, was fanciest shoe box I had ever seen. As soon as I opened the box I could smell the leather. Ah… the new car smell. They came with an extra pair of laces of a different colour so I chose to change one on one shoe. I NEVER change the laces on a new pair of running shoes. When I buy a new pair of shoes I have to leave the laces the way they left the store. I was a bit worried about the lacing not working when I tried them on. Compulsive?
Once I tried them on I couldn’t believe how light they felt. I took them out for their maiden voyage the following morning. The cushioning was unbelievable and they felt even lighter than when I first tried them on. They felt very comfortable compared to other neutral shoes I had worn. I had very high expectations for these shoes. Aside from not magically carrying up the hills, they did very well on the first week of running with them.
