Overall

I have tried many different running shoes over the past 4 years, running 8 marathons and multiple half marathons. The Supernova feels a bit wider than the other shoes I've tried, especially in the toe box. I typically have nasty toe blisters after a marathon but not so with the Supernova. No discomfort while running and no issues in recovery
