CraftSportswear Men's CTM Ultra 2 Running Shoe

Good fit and stylish

I am a full size 13 and they were too small. Great looking shoe, I wish they would have fit

The media could not be loaded.  Not really nice

I loved the heel and minimal upper. The treads and roll of the toe is also very nice. Also very light and cool.

I wear 10 wide so I ordered size 11 in these shoes and they were still too small. I contacted the sellers and they basically told me that there was nothing they could do and they washed their hands of it. Usually when I have an issue I contact the seller and they make it right. Not this time.I wanted these shoes because the sole looks like it would provide a very nice cushion. Unfortunately, I can't really wear them because they are too small. In the pics one can notice these tabs glued to the outside. One tab in particular has information on it that usually goes on the inside of the shoe not the outside. And these are tabs that you cannot peel off. I'm not sure I like all these tabs glued to the outside of my shoes. On the inside one can find a cushion around the ankle area. This is a good idea because the material is very lightweight and polyester and helps with slippage.All in All, I can't really give these shoes a good review or recommend them. They are pricy and if you get your size but it's actually too small you may have difficulty with a return. I had difficulty because my only option was to return them. I wasn't given the option to have them replaced, which is what I needed. I think this may be a flaw in the system.

I don’t do as much trail running as I used to (our urban parks attract a lot of mountain bikers so it gets crowded), but get out at least once a month to a park that’s about 30 minutes away from home. I have never run in Craft shoes before, but heard about them from my brother-in-law who has run a handful of century races in the North Carolina mountains and he swears by Craft shoes. I gave them a try and so far they’re pretty good, although there is a bit of an adjustment for me getting used to them.First, the sole thickness is similar to Hokas in appearance (my normal road running shoe brand), but noticeably less cushioned than the Hoka Clifton model I have been running in for the past 6 years. I’m not suggesting the Craft are uncomfortable – far from it – these are meant more for trails so cushion is not necessarily the most important feature, and stability (at least for me) is key in a trail shoe. And the sole is stable, and the design of the upper compliments that sole stability well.The upper, particularly the upper back of the heel, is different from what most people would be accustomed to. Rather than a cushioned heel, there is no cushion and the upper fits more like a glove around the heal (a lot of soccer cleats have a similar “sock” like upper built into the shoe, which is the closest analogy I can think of). This took quite a while for me to get used to, and I did get a little rubbing on my heel the first few trips I took in the Craft Ultra 2s.The fit is true to size – I am a 10.5 in most shoes, other than Hokas, and the Crafts 10.5s fit exactly as expected. My foot has widened over time so the roomy toe box gives my forefoot room to spread, but the heel section fits snug to keep my foot from bouncing around. As mentioned, there was a little heel rub initially but I swapped to a slightly thicker pair of toe socks and that did the trick (plus after a short break in period my heel got accustomed to the unique fit of the upper used on the Craft shoes).As for “how do they feel” I have to say it depends on the surface. I broke these in on a couple 3-4 mile walks with the dog and they felt great. The sole has what looks to me to be more of a trail grip, although they’re marketed as being for both road and trail. I noticed this on my initial walks – the sole really gripped the road and I could feel the traction when in my stride when “pushing” off one foot to the other. I did a couple short road runs but switched back to the Hokas … however, that is due in large part to the fact that I’m almost 50 years old, have been running for 25+ years and have deteriorated discs in the lumbar region that force me into a shoe with more cushion. Trail running is different because the trail doesn’t hurt my joints/spine like the road does – and these Craft Ultra 2s absolutely crushed the trail. My only complaint is that I have the white pair of Crafts, so after a trail run they’re basically beige now haha.

I've been a distance runner my entire life, having run for 4 decades. I'm an advanced runner with a plethora of knowledge on running and shoes. That being said, I can accurately state that these Craft running shoes are in an elite category. They are just phenomenal!First, I have never seen an upper this thin. It is thinner than a sock, yet it is one piece of mesh fabric that forms around your foot so perfectly you can barely tell its even there. The comfort is unmatched in my opinion! Being so thin, it blows me away! And these shoes breathe incredibly well. It feels like your feet are bare with only cushioning under your soles. And speaking of cushioning, these shoes deliver. The rebound and toe-off is exceptional! The last is very well constructed and will hold up for 100's of miles. These awesome shoes are lightweight too, 9.3 ounces to be exact. There is zero heel slip too, thanks to two perfectly placed gel pads on the inside of the heel to cradle your Achilles. And lastly, these shoes are very sharp looking! Honestly, after wearing countless running shoes for decades, these may become my favorite pair of all-time.These incredible running shoes deserve 5 stars easily, and get the highest recommendation from a true distance runner.

I'm very picky about my running shoes. I try on nearly every shoe in the store before selecting the one that provides the most comfort, cushioning, and support. It's particularly difficult to find one with a wide enough toe box.I was shocked! These lightweight shoes, surprisingly designed in Sweden, fit perfectly and provide excellent support and cushioning. The thick outer sole cushion provides stable and firm support. The canvas-like mesh upper is particularly impressive: fits like a sock with excellent breathability.Highly recommended!

No están mal pero para el precio existen mejores opciones, el ajuste malo, amortiguación nada reactiva , se sienten como unos saucony ride pero sin los acolchados
