- Is the RC56 good for running?
- It is a retro lifestyle shoe with light forefoot cushioning, not a modern training runner. Short jogs are fine, but long runs and high mileage suit a cushioned trainer better.
- How does it fit?
- The fit runs narrow, and several owners suggest going up half a size. People with wide feet should consider a wider model.
- How does it compare with the 574 and 550?
- The RC56 has a slimmer, more athletic profile and less padding than the 574. The 550 is chunkier and more court-styled, while the RC56 leans toward vintage racing looks.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The nylon and mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, so it is best for dry conditions.
- What is it best for?
- Casual wear, city walking and light everyday use. It is not built for heavy training or all-day standing.
