Looking for a neutral lighter weight replacement shoe that has good grip in wet weather. This shoe works perfectly.

4/5
Overall
Everyday trainer I can go long in or race in. The kind of shoe that you immediately forget about - i.e. I'm not thinking about my shoe on the run, that I wish I had more cushion, or less weight, or anything - the shoe just works in all situations.
