Pros

  • One reviewer running up to 38 miles finds it breathes well and holds up to the punishment.
  • At 7.5 oz in women's it is light for a 26mm stack.
  • The stack is 26mm at the heel and the forefoot, so there is no drop from heel to toe, which its one reviewer likes.

Cons

  • Its one reviewer rates appearance and value 4 out of 5, their lowest marks.

Good cushioning

4/5

Overall

I have used this shoe training on the streets on runs up to 38 miles in the early fall. They breathed well and held up to the punishment. I like the zero drop and cushioning. MY legs didn't feel beat up after runs.
