5/5

Overall

Fantastic running shoe in the light-weight camp. I would run it up to half marathon competition. Probably not a shoe for runners insisting on heel striking? For me, it provides by far the best running experience with good responsiveness, stiff and "spongy" sole and a shoe that makes wanting to run. My other shoes in my rotation is Adidas Adios 2 (good shoe as well, but more boring), Inov-8 212 Talaon (for trail running = the BEST), Asics Hyperspeed-6 (the only Asics worth running and a positive surprise after my "disgust" for Kayano) and Mizuno Ronin 3 (good shoe, but lacks personality).
