Best for
The Kype Pro is Craft's supershoe for elite marathon and half-marathon runners. An advanced carbon fiber plate, made with Arris and split at the heel, sits in a 40 mm stack with an 8 mm drop, and at about 198 g it is a light thing to hold form in.
It suits racing the marathon and the half, for runners who want a light, plated, neutral shoe with a balanced amount of cushioning for record attempts.
It is not a training shoe. At $320 it is a race-day tool, and a plate tuned for racing pace gives little back on slow runs, so keep something plainer for everything that is not a start line.
