Solid lightweight uptempo training/racing shoe for overpronators

VitaminG · Feb 7, 2018

5/5

Overall

The 1500v2 has been my go-to for faster workouts and races up to 10-mi in the last few years. I'm still on my first pair and they've probably got 300+ miles on them without really seeming beat up or worn out. I've got a spare pair ready for when they're finished - a sign of how much I like the shoe. They're cushioned enough, enough support, while remaining light enough for the faster work.
