Great shoe from easy to fast miles, I can do all of my training in them so the pricetag is understnadable, no complaints about the shoe at all, even wore a single pair for over 1000 miles.

These are good fast trainers. They work for long runs too. Heavier and not as much energy return as super shoes, but they have a plate and some pebax foam. React foam under heal for longevity. I love these shoes. I have contemplated using them in a marathon, but compared to VF or AF, they are heavier and have less pebax foam.

Great show for the roads and track workouts. I also use it for smoother trails. The only issue is that they tend to make a squeaking noise.

I am a novice runner, but I really have enjoyed this shoe once I started using them about a year ago. Great cushion and makes me feel like I'm leaning forward when running. With other shoes, sometimes my legs have this feeling like 'I just don't have it today'. I never get that feeling with these shoes.
They are pricey. There is no way around it, but if you can find a sale, I would jump on these.
