An excellent daily trainer

Overall

run >1000 miles in at least 4 different pairs. Mainly on roads, some trails at paces from 8:00 per mile to 4:40 per mile. Great for a daily trainer and up to tempo pace. Too heavy for anything really fast. Good on every surface I've used them on. Few changes from the 7, improved durability from the 6.

Great stability shoe

Anonymous runner · Jan 14, 2020

4/5

Overall

Great shoe for a runner who overpronates. They've worked every bit as well for me as the Kayanos and are significantly cheaper, especially if you go with the last years model and get them on sale. I can comfortably put 500-750 miles on a pair without injuring myself. I have wide feet so the large toebox is the main reason I keep coming back.

Shoe is an integral part on my running program hence, its very important that it protect the the whole body from injuries. It should be comfortable with adequate cushion, have a good look and most importantly be affordable.
