    Testers praised the fit of the mesh upper with smooth, seamless overlays adding structure, but they were mixed on the low, padded ankle wrap, with some finding it too tight on their Achilles.

    As with its previous neutral models, this stability trainer has a stretchy, seamless mesh upper that conforms to the foot and creates a wrap-like fit.

    Fit was pretty good, room for the toes, and flexed well.

    The Charged Bandit is a nice lightweight shoe that has good stability and cushion. The fit felt very natural and flexible. I ran two 5Ks in them—they gave great overall comfort and I felt no issues with my knees or feet.
