How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Great Marathon Shoe
5/5
Overall
Was very impressed by the overall comfort and speed of this shoe. Ran it on a few workouts and excited to run a full marathon in it next month.

4/5
Overall
This is my first pair of supershoes. They definitely make me feel fast when I push the pace. The high stack height takes some getting used to. My lateral ankle was sore after running in these shoes. The rubber outsoles are paper thin-- these shoes are definitely for roads only.

Like the title says, used out of the box for a 10k run, light, comfortable, very breathable, excellent cushioning, and they just make you run fast. Well worth the money!
