Overall

Everyday shoe that works for most situations and works as a make shift racer. I like the feeling of running in a light shoe. The grip is the best out there and works for me with a slow powerful stride

Overall

At first the shoe felt a little weird in the heel. I prefer the boston a little more, but when that went to boost I couldn't find it for cheap anymore. boost is a scam to me. I've ran in boost and it's too soft. I really like the tempo 6. It is light and not too built up. I can run 80+ miles a week in it and remain injury free. It is fairly firm underfoot which I like because it feels ike your foot does not spend too much time on the ground. I can feel comfortable doing long runs to fast hill workouts in this shoe.

It's a good lightweight trainer that is no longer being made. So sad. It's enough shoe to be able to use as a daily trainer, but still light enough to use for workouts.
