Are blissfeel Shoes for Serious Running

To date there were about 300 reviewers, including ourselves, who were not too impressed with the shoes as a distance running shoe. Several reviews indicated that if you run lots of miles they do not hold up and might not have enough cushion for runs past 3 miles.

lululemon considers the blissfeel shoe as an everyday neutral running shoe. Our Take is that they are better suited to light running, walking, cardio workouts like with The Studio Mirror, strength training, dance cardio, or Zumba and stretch sessions. Longer running sessions are not that comfortable with blissfeel shoes as there is definitely not enough cushioning.

In the end – Final thoughts

After putting the shoes through a 30-day test, running more than 3-4 miles in these shoes was not as good an experience as other high quality running shoe brands like Adidas, Nike, On, Brooks and Asics. The blissfeel has a stiff sole and did not provide enough cushion for longer runs over 3 miles. It’s more a moderately padded every day running shoe, better suited for easy runs and workouts. That’s not to say we think this shoe is not worth it. blissfeel has a nice feel and hugs the heel.

Our team of reviewers found Blissfeel to be great for walking, running errands and low impact workout activities. We discovered that when doing Mirror workouts like dance cardio the Blissfeel shoes were awesome – very comfortable and stable. And they look particularly cute, especially in all the colors – It is easy to want more than one pair.

Our Take, lululemon blissfeel running shoes are a recommended buy for comfortable every day and light training use under 3 miles.

Running Shoe Recommendations for the Serious Runner

If you are looking for really good high-quality running shoes that hold up for longer runs, here are our top recommendations.

Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 38

The A.I.R. Artist-in-Residence, Jordan Moss color is so cool. The Pegasus 38 shoes are the classic runner shoe. They are comfortable for just about every type of runner and super perfect for going from couch to 5K. Durable, they will deliver comfortable performance day 1 training through to race day.

Adidas Ultra Boost 22

ULTRA BOOST by Adidas shoes delivers incredible energy return and instant comfort while the upper wraps the foot with a supportive fit. What we love is this shoe's upper is made with a high-performance yarn which contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic — reimagined plastic waste, intercepted on remote islands, beaches, coastal communities and shorelines, preventing it from polluting the ocean. The other 50% of the yarn is recycled polyester. Best running shoe ever with the positive push up as you hit the road.
