# Run Star Hike vs Chuck 70: The Chunky Upgrade Worth It?

My Chuck 70s are finally worn to the ground and I’m debating the Run Star Hike as the replacement. Love the platform, worried it might be too much for daily wear. 👟

Anyone run the Run Star Hike as a daily driver? How’s the break-in and do they hold up better than the 70s? Also curious about sizing — I hear they run half big. 🧡
