Running With The SOLE F63 Treadmill Review (UPDATED for 2022 Model)

Consider running barefoot with the SOLE F63 Treadmill? You’ll be enjoying the the most realistic running experience for achieving the perfect sense of natural movement, allowing for smoother, more efficient and easier motion. The key to this dynamic of running is in the natural pronation and supination of the foot and running technique.

But, we start with the “dry stuff”.

Just who is “Sole” anyway?

We believe, that looking at the issue of buying a piece of exercise equipment or anything for that matter, it is important to know who the company is behind what you are buying. Most times, people are buying things that they have never used or do not understand. So, it is very important to know who the company you are buying from is and what the products are all about.

Sole Treadmills began as a company focusing the manufacture and sales of solid treadmill equipment for the hospitality industry. We see hotels of just about every category outfitted with fitness rooms, including treadmills as part of the exercise equipment offerings, and by a large part, it is Sole equipment that is used.

Sole has been very successful in capturing a large part of the hospitality market and then turned their attention to developing equipment for home use.

They took what they had learned from the hospitality industry, where we all know the equipment takes a beating, and applied the knowledge to building functional, solid and beautifully designed treadmill equipment for the home use market.

This provides more than sufficient to power the Treadmill Belt to 12-Miles Per Hour (MPH). The slowest speed is 0.5 MPH and at 12 MPH and a maximum of 15% or 8.5 degree’s incline the F63 is more than capable of making you sweat in a workout.
  2. Another of the Sole F63 Treadmill product specs outlines that the Treadmill comes with a large 5-foot running surface, allowing the unit to be easily folded to store out of the way when not in use.
  3. Come and pick your running program from one of the six that are standard with the F63 Treadmill, when you take it out of the box. There is a sufficient range and opportunity for you to do an excellent cardio or specific fat burning program.
  4. The F63 Treadmill comes with all the safety features you require to complete your workout in a safe environment. The Treadmill has slow-speed start to allow you to begin your workout without strain, and the safety kill switch is easily accessible.
  5. Controls, the F63 Treadmill has controls that are well laid out and with an interesting twist of being located on the arm-rest to provide easier access.
  6. Watch what you are doing and how you are performing with the large LCD Display that provides readouts for:
    • Calories Burned

  7. You do not want to get bored with all that running, and the F63 Treadmill comes with built in speakers for your listening enjoyment.
  8. Just in case you have a problem, which is a very low probability event, Sole provides a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, one year as a contribution to labour costs, and three years for the running deck and electronics.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the F63 Treadmill

Now that you know the “beef” of the Sole F63 Treadmill, following is what we consider the advantages and disadvantages of the total package.

F63 Advantages

  1. We start with the construction, which should last a lifetime, and that is backed up by their warranty. Unless you have the thought to drop this thing from your 20th-floor balcony, you should expect many years of trouble-free use from the frame and other metal components.
  2. The running deck is shock absorbing, but we leave an assessment of the utility of this to the customer.
  3. The controls are located on the armrest, which is an excellent move, improving access while exercising. As well, the large 6.5-inch LCD screen provides ample size to read all the important measurements easily.
  4. Programming is as easy as pushing a few buttons, or you can select your exercise regime from one of the six programs provided.
  5. The manufacturer provides a 30-day money back guarantee if the F63 Treadmill is purchased from an official supplier. There is no mention if this includes reimbursement for freight, and with the weight, makes sure that this is the right Treadmill unit for you – which we do not see why it would not be.

F63 Disadvantages

  1. There is not much that can be presented as disadvantages to the F63 Treadmill. Size and weight may be considered a disadvantage, but they what would one expect from a Treadmill anyway?

F63 Treadmill Reviews

The reviews for the Treadmill as a whole and the Sole F63 Treadmill product specs have been very positive, suggesting it presents excellent value and coming with commercial grade components, it should last for many years.
