A feel-good daily trainer

5/5
Overall
No nonsense workhorse do-it-all shoe. Light and responsive for speedwork on the track or grass, but also cushioned enough to use for lots of easy miles. Keeps the legs healthy while not going overboard with too much modern crap that leaves you weak in some areas.

Love that the foot is closer to the ground in this shoe. Lightweight trainer I used daily that was cushioned enough for longer runs but responsive and light enough for tempo type workouts. I love this shoe.
