Runn about 20 miles a week, shoe has held up but I could use more support. Shoes gifted to me, so I can't complain to much. I think I could get more value with another brand.

Overall

I was not expecting to like these as much as I do, since I was just trying them out to have something for rainy days when I didn't want to wear my good running shoes. They are comfortable and provide a very smooth, fast ride. Best of all they've lasted beyond my expectations.
