Athletic Propulsion Labs Reviews

I picked these up thinking they’d have a bit more shock absorption, especially since I wanted them for short runs and gym days. They do look good and the fit was fine for me, but after wearing them a few times, I felt more impact in my knees and heels than I was hoping for.

For the price, I personally expected them to feel a little softer or more supportive underfoot. I can see how they might work fine for someone who doesn’t need much cushioning, but for me they just didn’t feel protective enough. Overall, I was a little disappointed.

I really thought these would have decent cushioning, but they start feeling hard after about 20 minutes. My feet actually hurt more than they did in my old cheap shoes. Wasnt worth it for me.

The shoes looked really good when they showed up, but they just didn’t fit me the way I hoped. I figured returning them would be simple, but that ended up being the most frustrating part.

The instructions weren’t very clear, and I kept feeling like I didn’t know what the next step was supposed to be. I had to wait around for replies, and there wasn’t much communication about where things stood or what I needed to do next.

It did get handled in the end, but it took more effort than it should have. For what these cost, I expected the return process to be a lot smoother and less confusing.

I’ve taken these out for a few runs now, and they do feel nice at first. They’re light and comfortable enough for shorter miles, but once I got into longer runs, my feet started getting a bit sore. The grip is also just okay, nothing special. For the price, I expected a little more. One thing that also bugged me is it’s not super clear who actually owns or stands behind the brand, which makes it a little hard to know who you’re really buying from if there’s an issue. Not terrible shoes, just not amazing either

The shoes themselves are fine, so no real complaints there. But the support side was frustrating. I sent two emails and didn’t hear back for days, and when they finally replied, it felt like a copy-paste answer. Maybe that’s not fair, but my brain kind of takes slow replies + generic message and files it under “they don’t really care.” Not the worst experience ever, just annoying.

I’m a little confused because they seemed like they’d be comfortable, but after just one short walk my feet were already hurting. Definitely not something I’d want to wear for walking

Played a few runs in these. Grip was good. Felt fine overall. Not a lot of bounce though. Price felt a bit high for what they are.

I really wanted these to work out, but the stability just isn’t there. My feet kept feeling like they were rolling a little, even during basic training and just walking around. The worst part is the timing was terrible because I got them right when I was trying to get back into a steady workout routine, so now I have to find something else. For the price, I expected way better support. They look nice, but I don’t feel safe using them at the gym. Probably won’t buy again.

I like the shoes overall. They feel well-made and comfortable, but the price is just a bit higher than I expected for what they are, if that makes sense

The shoes do look good, I will say that. But the arch support was just sort of okay for my feet, not bad but not really great either. They’re fine when I’m doing a short workout or something like that, but if I’m standing around all day, my feet start noticing it in a not fun way.

I bought a pair from Athletic Propulsion Labs because I really liked the look, but after wearing them a bit, the breathability just isn’t there for me.
After maybe 30 minutes of walking around, my feet felt sweaty and kind of trapped. The upper looks stylish, but I’m guessing the material just doesn’t let much air through, because it felt like heat was building up fast.
For the price, I expected a lot more comfort. I can’t really use them for workouts since my socks end up damp pretty much every time. Looks are nice, but comfort-wise these were a big miss for me

I was expecting something a little nicer for the price, especially since I’d been comparing a few similar options online before ordering this. When it arrived and I actually used it, it just felt kind of cheap, honestly. Not terrible, but definitely not what I’d call premium

The traction was terrible. I was slipping and sliding pretty much the entire game, which got frustrating fast. For what they charge, I expected way better, but it kind of feels like they cared more about making a quick sale than actually putting out something that performs well

I really wanted to love these because they do look nice on. A friend had recommended them to me, so I was expecting them to be a solid everyday option.

Unfortunately, the comfort just wasn’t there for me after wearing them for a couple of hours. They felt a bit stiff, and my feet got tired sooner than I expected. They might be fine for short outings, but for the price, I was hoping for a lot more comfort.

I returned the shoes and I don’t even remember the exact day anymore, but I definitely remember it’s been weeks and the refund still hasn’t shown up. Support keeps replying, but it’s always something vague like they’re “checking on it.” I liked the shoes enough to try them, but this part has been frustrating

I tried using these during training, and the grip just felt kind of weak. My legs also seemed to tire out faster than usual. It’s not even about expecting anything amazing, I just wanted them to feel steady and supportive, and they didn’t really hold up for me.

I gave it 4 stars because, basically, the order showed up the way it was supposed to. The size was right, color was right, style was right, all the stuff I picked online matched. Shipping wasn’t crazy fast or anything, but it got here fine. The box looked a little banged up, which had me wondering at first, but the shoes inside were totally fine. So yeah, nothing fancy to say really, it was an easy order and there weren’t any real problems.

I really wanted to like these, but the shoes are just way too bulky and loud for my taste. The colors feel kind of random, and the whole design looks like it’s trying a little too hard?! For the price, I expected something cleaner and easier to style. I could maybe see wearing them to the gym, but definitely not out and about.

The shoes fit true to size for me, so no issue there. But after walking around in them for a bit, they felt stiff and not that comfortable. For the price, I was expecting a little more tbh

Just my opinion, but the prices felt a little too high for what you get. I personally didn’t feel like it was the best value
