Great neutral shoe

I log 80% of my marathon training miles in this shoe. Light enough to have some speed but the boost foam really lowers the impact. Great all around neutral shoe.

I’m an Olympic Trials Marathoner and I totally trust my daily training to this shoe. The shoe is fantastic for neutral and overpronaters who put in lots of mileage. The Boost foam retains its cushioning over time much better than any other foams I have tried. The rubber is thick enough in the bottom for maximum durability of time as well. Not too expensive at $130 MSRP, but you can find older models for $70-$90. The design is a bit bland to the eye, but it will do wonders for your foot!

Overall

Love these neutral running shoes. I went a half size down than my normal running shoe size as these run big. The only way these could improve is if they had more lace holes to make the toe box a bit more snug, but as they are I do not notice them being too loose or anything while running.

Best running shoe I've ever had

Overall

Simple, comfortable, durable. Not much else to say. these have been my daily trainers for 6 years, and they're exactly what I want in a shoe: cushioned enough for long runs but not bulky or heavy. very comfortable. lasts to 400/500 miles usually. just an all around great, simple shoe.

Been wearing this of several years. Great shoe. I am a neutral runner with high arches. I've also had Achilles issues in the past. This shoe does a nice job with above conditions.
