Love this shoe! Tried to change a couple times from this shoe to Brooks or New Balance, but just returned to this shoe. Some might see it as a little clunky, but it's what I'm used to. Was originally in Asics, but kept getting injured. The moment I switched shoes, no more injuries.

4/5
Overall
Best shoes I've ever run in: Lunar Glide 2 or Vomero 5. These are far and away better than other shoes, but the Glide 6 get the job done in a similar way.
Glide 6 pros: fit relatively well, albeit in a nonspecific way; tons of cushioning (although the new cushioned feel decreases pretty quickly after ~200mi); durable (always able to put at least 350mi on each pair with ease); look good; $$ value!!! -- Have always been able to find these shoes online for ~$70 (most recently on a lacrosse gear website).
Cons: Don't form fit my foot very specifically; can get some friction hot spots on the bottom of my feet during faster paced efforts (tempo pace, 5:40, and faster); amazing new cushioned feel doesn't last all that long

Overall
Great cushioning, good look and feel, and I'm easily able to get 350+ miles on each pair (although the initial cushioned feel drops off pretty significantly after ~200mi in my experience). The $$ value is the key factor. Ideally I'd run in the Vomero most likely, but I'm almost always able to somehow find the Glides online for ~$70 (most recently on a lacrosse gear website). The main downside is while the shoes is the general fit of the shoe -- I feel like they don't fit my foot foot very specifically at all, but they aren't uncomfortable at any particular point and the cushioning is awesome. The Lunar Glide 2 and Vomero 6 were the best shoes I've ever run in, both far and away from other pairs as best I can remember. But the Glide 6 do get the job done in a similar way.
