Recommended Price :- £79.99

Review

The GEL-TARTHER is the first unchanged Japanese racing flat to be introduced to Europe.

I have only been wearing them for the past couple of months with the intention of using them for racing the London Marathon and have found them to be a very good trainer. They are comfortable and lightweight perfectly suitable for racing on the road up to Marathon distance. I have been using them in all my recent training and races and can't fault them for performance.

I have worn lighter racing flats such as the Asics Pirhana but these do not provide the same level of support or cushioning and in my opinion are only suitable for road races up to 10km in distance. The Gel Tarther's feel much more durable and whilst there is a compromise with a little more weight than the Pirhana's it's not enough to compromise their performance. These are still a very lightweight racer and perfectly suited to the job.
