Dynafit Féline Up Pro

The Dynafit Feline Up Pro is an exclusive trail running shoe. Let’s point out straight away don’t expect to be able to do long distances on rough terrain. These Feline are designed for vertical kilometers. They are lightweight, grippy, and have almost zero cushioning.

 

The first look at these shoes are pleasing to the eye: here is a very well-conceived design. The creator drew a flowing design with fluid lines, both aggressive and classy.

 

The laces are almost totally integrated and hidden by a protective stretch mesh that inhibits the dust or small stones entering. It is mostly a way of hiding the extra laces. Handling them isn’t the easiest job in the world especially if your hands are cold – but the automatic lacing system works well – don’t overtighten as the tongue is thin and you could encourage pressure points. The shoe is designed very snug fitting so even if the laces are not tight the foot hold is already good.

 

The Dynafit provides a narrow fit so more suited to narrow feet. We liked the precise fit, no pressure points and the precise fit around the heel.

 

At 230g announced ours for size 43 were 250g. These also have a snug fit in length. You could easily take a half size up to be in your usual size. The overall quality of the manufacturing of these shoes is also precise: no glue dribbles, neat stitching and refined collages with quality materials.

 

In the action they are highly performant ; full speed in the uphills in terrain needing a good grip. These shoes are a must for vertical kilometer races.

 

If you run where you need cushioning, don’t choose these. The thin Vibram® sole filters nothing – you can instantly feel stones underfoot and cushioning is absent – everywhere. It’s better to run forefoot if possible and choose a terrain that is soft! The torsional rigidity is low and we have an all-round flexible shoe.

 

We loved their biting grip. Mud doesn’t get stuck in between the lugs. The entire sole is grippy and the foot strike is direct, no precision is lost. The 4mm drop means you must run with skill.

 

Is the price justifiable at 185euros? It is definitely a stunning product and super well-designed, performant in its domain. Superb shoes and exclusive for VK running, lightweight, grippy, aggressive and classy.
