Pros
- The Continental rubber outsole holds up well past 500 miles for many.
- Runners use it for tempos, track sessions and marathons alike.
- Light at 8.8 oz with a snappy, responsive Boost ride.
Cons
- Several reviewers find it lean on cushioning, and pick softer shoes for recovery days.
- Three reviewers find the forefoot narrow, and one advises going half a size up.
- One reviewer says it soaks up water like a sponge, and another finds the outsole less grippy on ice and wet.
