The upper material of the Wade 10 is highly breathable, making it noticeably comfortable even during summer without feeling stuffy. The shoe does have a slight arch pressure, but those with low arches can adapt to it within one to two months.
The sole features an irregular carbon plate, which, combined with a slightly forward-leaning center of gravity, enhances quick starts. However, during the initial adaptation period, it can feel awkward and difficult to walk properly.
This carbon plate also comes with a drawback. Its design requires caution when going up and down stairs or walking on uneven surfaces, as stepping on protruding edges or stones could potentially cause the carbon plate to break. This is a significant disadvantage, as a broken carbon plate affects the starting speed and may cause arch pain.
Another major issue is the tendency to come apart at the seams. The toe area often starts to separate without warning, and the separation on the right side of the P3 model is due to improper use. Additionally, the upper material can be challenging to clean.
After six months of moderate use, the Wade 10 performs exceptionally well. The full-length Beng technology provides impressive cushioning, allowing for an initial jump height that is 4cm higher than average sneakers. There is no evidence of the so-called "sole wear-out" as rumored; the sole only shows minor wear, and the traction is excellent. Over six months, there were injury incidents, but none occurred while wearing the Wade 10, thanks to its good lateral support.
Overall, the Wade 10 is a sneaker that combines both style and performance. However, it requires careful handling to maintain its integrity.
