4/5

Overall

Technically marketed as a marathon racer, however; I used it as a normal training shoe for everything from long runs to speedwork, and it lasted me about 700 miles. I am not a big guy though, 5'10" 135lbs, so I can usually get shoes to last awhile. Nice, lightweight option for runners that do not like a heavy shoe.

Overall

When I have to go fast, or need a fast turnover I choose this shoe. Lightweight, stiff and responsiveness all in one heck of a flying shoe. And THE most important fact: It is made for overpronators! thank God. I always wonder why there is so little options in racing shoes for overpronators, we are the 40% of the runners community!
