Best for
The Kipstorm Lab is the lightest shoe KIPRUN has ever designed, and at about 167 g it shows. The carbon Hook Plate adds propulsion and stability, Fluid Foaming technology and Featherbounce foam handle the cushioning, and the whole thing is a unisex racing shoe. It is also a limited run at $350, with only a handful of sizes.
It suits road racing from the shorter events to the marathon, for runners who want the lightest plated shoe KIPRUN makes and are happy to treat it as a one-job tool.
It is not a training shoe. The plate and featherweight build leave little reason to wear it on easy runs, and with a limited run you cannot count on finding your size.
