Autopilots are an amazing shoe, so comfortable and easy to wear. I absolutely love the re-run option, the pair I got were essentially new. I also appreciate the customer service as I had return due to sizing and the staff were so understanding. Super glad I found my pair and size.
I was looking for a new pair of shoes for marathon training and someone recommended the autopilots to me. I received them a few days after my order was placed, tried them on, and they felt immediately comfortable. I've done two runs in them so far (10km and 17km) and they've been a great fit, easy to run in and felt very comfortable. No soreness or anything afterwards, so I'm very happy with them. The only thing of note: some of my socks are very short and the back on the autopilot's is slightly higher than I'm used to, so they rubbed my heels just a bit. I wore slightly longer socks on my long run and had no issues at all, so it's a non-issue now.
These shoes remind me of a pair of hoka Bondi 8's that I ran in for quite a while, and still use for walking. Very similar feel and quality to them. So, very pleased with the Tarkine's and will buy again in future.
Very soft yet surprisingly quick, keen to use them for my next race
Tarkine’s Autopilot brings a lightness to the feet. The upper is soft, flexible, and airy. The sole is lovingly plush, while avoiding the sinking feeling of some soft and higher stack shoes.
At slower to moderate paces, the Autopilot gently wraps your foot and lets you enjoy a plush ride. As you pick up the pace, they show smooth transitions and energy return.
Reasonable but not overly impressive, Cheap looks for the price and definitely not a performance shoe.
