Advantages: Very Comfortable, great allrounder, velcro closure system Disadvantages: Not the most technical shoe, the dye runs.
...This is more of a follow-up to my review of the standard Red Chili Spirits (http://sports.ciao.co.uk/RedChiliSpiritReview5643275) as I bought these after my lace up Spirits wore out. I found the Lace up shoes to be very comfortable while still offering ample ability, but fancied the quick on/off advantage of the Velcro Spirit.

- Velcro triplex tension control
- Easy on and off
- Asymmetric last with comfort fit
- Performance fit heel
- Precision edging
- Graduated midsoles
- Red

It's probably worth saying that at that point I threw them in the back of the cupboard (I don’t know why i didn't just throw them out - they're still in my cupboard yet I have no intention of ever wearing them again) and bought the Red Chili Spirit Impact Zone shoe, which is basically the same save for Velcro closure and extra padding under the heel.
Before I go any further here's the blurb from the manufacturers website:
- Triple graduated mid-sole gives unbeatable flex and feel across all sizes
- Small sizes especially tuned for women...
