What runners say
“Lasted nearly 1000 miles and the durability is through the roof!”
“250+ miles on it and the wear is less than previous ten pairs of shoes”
“The springiness of the forefoot makes them feel comfortable even for tempos and speed work”
“The cushioning decreased slightly after 3 to 4 months, but then completely stopped deteriorating”
“Lightweight and comfortable and feels like it has a spring in it that propels you forward”
“Responsive cushioning that firms up when you speed up”
“Comfortable and gives good return on each step, but falls apart relatively quickly”
“With 200 miles on it, almost no signs of wear in the upper or on the outsole”
“Does not last much past 400 miles; older models lasted over 500 miles”
“Midsole is very comfortable and still well-cushioned after 1000km”
“It felt like it completely conformed to my foot”
“Runs a .5 size small”
“One pair hurts the middle of the foot, causing sharp pain in the middle toe after about 6-7 miles”
“Enough girth to keep feet happy with that firm ride”
“The sizing is a little off; runs a smaller size than usual”
“Great rebound and energy return from boost foam”
“Very good cushioning and great durability, but a bit clunky in motion”
“It's a little higher off the ground than preferred, making it more unstable”
“Very cushioned and responsive, but boost feels a little lumpy”
“Once socks get sweaty they start to slide down with this shoe”
“Got 500-600 miles on them”
“Fits OK on narrow feet with speed lacing”
“It was too soft and didn't fit right”
