The Second Best Marathonner you can Buy

theJeff · Sep 2, 2018

5/5

Overall

Extremely lightweight for the amount of cushion you get. Pebax midsole is fantastic: lighter than EVA and more energy return than TPU. Not sure about durability yet, but this material, found only in the Floatride line and Vaporfly line (to my knowledge) will be the wave of the future. I will say that the shoe fits a quarter size large FOR A RACER. This did not hug my foot like, say, the Zoom Streak LT3. I consider it to be a great middle ground between the relaxed fit of a trainer and the snug fit of a racer, which, again, is great for a long-distance racing flat. (The removable insole is of average thickness, so you can certainly swap it out for a more customized fit.) You can even do what I ended up doing: going with a full size smaller and removing the insole entirely. This obviously makes for a firmer ride, but it worked for me.
