Mesh sneakers

Indigoprint

I have been trying out a pair of mesh sneakers.
I am surprised at how out of balance I feel with such a light weight shoe... I have not fallen, but wonder if any others have experienced this?

I like mine and don’t have that problem. However I walk, not run, in them, if that makes a difference. Especially great weight for packing.

I have a pair that are partly mesh. I haven't experienced balance problems. But do you mean physically or visually -- or both?

Do you have a photo of them?

I have had that issue with an Arcopedico shoe - because of the placement of the mesh my foot did not feel supported laterally and I worried about 'sliding' off to one side and twisting my ankle.

New Balance shoes with a mesh top but structured sides feel secure and I have had a few pairs.

I have not fallen with light weight shoes but long pointy ones can be hard to walk in. I like light weight shoes for packing and seek them out. I do not ever wear heels.

My feet need support and structure, and I had to change my walking shoe when the brand changed the stability system and I was getting too much wobble. I can’t comfortably wear lightweight sneakers or Cons. You may be similar?

I’m like cat2 and require some support and structure with my sneakers otherwise my feet hurt too much. I rarely wear my mesh ones because of this.

My running shoes are mesh, and I can't imagine wearing anything heavier!
