Overall

I have had these shoes for a couple weeks now and have been able to run in them 4 times. I first ran in them on the treadmill for a few miles to break them in. The shoes definitely look big, with the extra space in the toe box being the main culprit. However, this is part of what makes the shoe so comfortable. Having that extra room has helped my feet feel better after running and it just feels better. The shoes have plenty of cushioning, but aren't too heavy. Since I haven't owned them long, I'm not sure on how durable they are, but they have held up well so far. They feel odd at first since they are zero drop, but after a half mile or so it feels natural. Overall they have been a great shoe, worth the $135 price tag.
