Joma Fast 20

Joma has adjusted criteria with the new version of the Joma Fast 20 model, and it is now classified as a lightweight training shoe. Once again, we must resort to the hackneyed phrase: "If something works well, the best option is not to touch it" to summarize the launch of this second version of the Spanish manufacturer. Compared to its predecessor Joma Fast, the changes are rather few, and are reduced almost exclusively to improving the upper of the shoe. In fact, both the midsole and the outsole are identical to the first version. Although the best virtue of the Joma Fast 2016 is still its excellent value for money.

Thus, Jomas new Blow Up polymer is still present in the midsole, while two densities of Phylon are also incorporated, firmer in the heel, and somewhat softer in the midfoot area. The idea is to boost the toe-off with every step.

In the outsole of the Jomas Fast 20, things remain the same, with a clear commitment to the compound that Joma calls Durability, which, as its name suggests, extends the life of the shoe, although to the detriment of grip and flexibility, despite the excess of separation in its cleats.

Improvements in the upper

Although the upper of the Joma Fast 20 features a classic mesh, its upper is lightweight, breathable and capable of resisting rubbing. In fact, it is made of nylon, micro PU, lateral TPU to make the shoe lighter. Except for the heel counter - external to avoid deformations in the rear part - and the toe area, all the reinforcements are thermo-glued.

Since the shoe has a wide last, the midfoot has been designed with a structure of reinforcements and straps to improve the shoe's fit.

With a weight of 283 grams (85 USA for men) and a drop of 11 millimeters, the second version of the Joma Fast is designed forneutral runners or runners with slight pronation who are looking for a model that provides stability, some agility and a firm feel. In short, an optimal rolling model, without being excessively heavy.
