What runners say

“Feel like clouds on recovery days, but put the work in on speed days.”

5/5 Full review

“After the second run, the fin split in half. The ZoomX and react foam split and ripped.”

1/5 Full review

“The ZoomX foam would erode on the back outside heel easily after 100 miles in the original, but the PT2's show no wear after 100.”

5/5 Full review

“Shave off about 20 seconds per mile compared to other shoes.”

5/5 Full review

“The ZoomX foam is very comfortable—cushioned and responsive—and didn't show noticeable wear until after 300 miles.”

MNTiger2018 5/5 Full review

“The most comfortable training shoe ever. Great cushioning, light weight, good stability.”

5/5 Full review

“Feels good the first 150 miles and then slowly feels flat after that.”

5/5 Full review

“Not as bouncy as the original, but they traded bounce that wore out quickly for more speed.”

5/5 Full review

“Much lighter and less bulky, easier to run and felt like I was gliding.”

5/5 Full review

Everyday performance trainer

Overall

Has been very comfortable and just enough new technology to go fast if needed. Great trainer and possibly a good race shoe depending on distance or fitness level. Priced well for the durability and sleek feel.

Great for workouts

Overall

I used this shoe for speed work on tempos. Loved the Zoom cushioning and the light weight. The shoes are a little tight in the forefoot, which bothered me on longer runs (usually more than 12 miles). These have some bounce to them with a low stack height and light weight.

A great shoe

Overall

This is a near-perfect shoe for me. Lightweight, pretty durable, comfortable -- works well for every type of run. I bought two more pairs. The main downside is the cost. They're pricey, but if you're willing to wear an ugly color, you can get them for close to $100 these days.
