It’s true that there’s no one “best” running shoe, in the same way there’s no one “best” hiking shoe. What works for one person may not work for another. Even so, I can acknowledge a good pair of shoes when I see one. And that’s exactly what the Icebug Järv RB9X are: fantastic shoes, but just not for me.
I still awarded these shoes a coveted 4-star rating, because, as I said, I can recognize a high-quality pair of shoes when I see one. Unfortunately, my running style just isn’t made for these shoes. If you don’t have a heavy heel landing, you might love the RB9X.
