5/5

Overall

I loved this shoe, except the colour schemes they used - all of them ugly, which may well have been a factor in the low sales figures and subsequent discontinuing, They feel just right, very light and don't interfere with my natural running pattern. I bought a stash of 5 pairs online when they got discontinued and ran over 1000 miles on each pair (well, still using the last pair, not for much longer, though).
