“The second generation was terrible, the upper was stretchy and loose and it felt like crappy sponges tied to the bottom of your feet.”
“They are light shoes with a smooth ride and a surprising amount of cushion.”
“I love that they are flexible, light, and when you tie them they offer plenty of midfoot support.”
“It has good cushion, a low heel drop, light and breathable.”
“Feels like I'm slipping on a glove.”

This shoe is neutral and simple. The cushioning is modest. This shoe allows you to feel the ground and become in touch with your form. It works well on trails too. It is not a racer. It is comfortable and conforms well to the foot. It does not last long. I've managed to get ~250 miles of asphalt road running averaged over three pairs.
