Good for masters types

4/5

Overall

After 20 years of running, I’m starting to get some aches and pains, especially in my feet and knees and these shoes have the extra structure I need to keep running. That’s the good of the shoes. They are heavy and not great for faster running, but they will get you through a workout in good enough order. If just going out and enjoying your run is a your goal, these are the perfect shoes.

It's a great supportive yet lightweight shoe. It can handle all I need it to do, including speed work.
