Alright, folks, time for a little sneaker rundown. I just snagged these new Lululemon Beyondfeel running sneakers for men, and let me tell you, they’re pretty impressive. Seriously.
I used to be a die-hard Hoka fan. Those Hokas were my go-to, especially for taming my early onset plantar fasciitis. But lately? My Hokas felt like they were channeling their inner grandpa—old and sluggish, kinda like me before my morning coffee. Maybe I wore them out, but I feel like I’m barely getting 300 miles of wear in them before they start feeling like they’re ready for the garbage can.
First Impressions
Back in the early spring, Lululemon recently sent me a pair of Beyondfeel sneakers. I was a big fan of their Cityverse casual men’s shoes that came out earlier this year but wasn’t really ready to make the switch to a more performance-oriented kick until recently. My Cityverse sneakers were my go-tos on a very aggressive road trip this past spring. You can see me rocking them a few times in this video I posted on my Instagram.
The Beyondfeel sneakers retail for $158 and come with supercritical foam cushioning for a softer heel-to-toe glide, seamless ventilated mesh that stretches to support every stride, and a flexible high-traction outsole that prepares your foot for takeoff.
Running on Clouds
In Beyondfeel, you’ll always feel like running. Maximum cushion. Effortless glide. Very functional. Supportive. The kind of shoe I know is going to keep me pushing myself, which is exactly what I’m looking for while (A. getting ready for a busy ski season and (B. trying to get in the best shape of my life for my wedding next year.
Enter Lululemon Beyondfeel: a whole new world, my friends. These bad boys are as light as a feather but pack a punch with fantastic heel and arch support. There’s this nifty bounce to them that makes me feel like I’m sprinting on clouds. It’s like revisiting that first pair of top performance running shoes but with a little extra oomph.
Here are some of the current colorways of the Beyondfeel, now available on lululemon.com for $158.

Daily Drivers
I’m stoked to make these my new daily drivers for hiking, walking, and my occasional pretend-athlete moments. I’ll be putting these babies through the wringer over the next few weeks—no doubt about it. Plus, they look sharp! Think trusty old tennis shoes but with a slick, modern twist.

I love how these look. Also, here are some reviews from others:

Final Thoughts
So far, the regular Beyondfeel shoes are acing my initial test flights around the neighborhood hills. Who knows what they’ll be like in four or five weeks? But right now, I’m a happy camper. Fingers crossed, I’m hoping they last a few hundred miles before I need another pair.
Lululemon Beyondfeel running shoes: I dig ’em. The lightness and sturdiness alone are worth it, not to mention the springy bounce that keeps you feeling young and vibrant. Vibrance is good vibes for my feet—and that’s a ticket I want to buy to take the a smooth, comfortable ride.
