long durability and good comfort

Anonymous runner · Jul 2, 2018

4/5

Overall

Shoes with the highest durability I had so far. The flyknit upper material is still without damage after several thousand miles (usually this breaks first on my other shoes before), cushioning is still ok (but I do not pay too much attention to this) and the single reason I exchanged them recently with an equivalent model is because now after almost 3000 miles the outer sole shows some significant wear.

Overall

Overall it is a good daily trainer. Though the sole can be a bit hard and rigid on short runs and late into distance. I became very injured around the time I transitioned from the Lunar 2 to 3 and am not sure if it is related.
