Great marathon shoe for those who can't use super light flats

5/5

Overall

The first run I did in the Asteria felt fantastic. Right out of the box the shoe fit well and was comfortable. It's light, flexible, and has cushioning, but not too much. This is the most comfortable and light shoe I've worn for racing road marathons in the 18 years I've been running them. My feet felt good every step.
