Quick Review of the Saucony Hattori



Since I like to test out as many minimalist shoes as I can, I bought a pair of Saucony Hattoris last week, but after one run in them I can honestly say it will be my last run in them. Vibrams are still safe in my top shoe spot. Don’t get me wrong, the Hattoris feel great on my feet and I will wear them a lot as a casual shoe, hell I may even buy another pair, but they do not compare to the Vibrams when it comes to a barefoot feel. The Hattori still has far too much cushioning for my taste and the soles are too rigid. One of the things I love about Vibrams is that once you have the right fit they feel like an extension of your foot. You barely notice you are wearing anything at all. The Hattoris, although very light, still feel like I am wearing a shoe. My two cents.
