3/5

Overall

As a bargain hunter I will only buy older shoes that are a lower price. As a mid-priced shoe this is a great shoe to run in. There's lots of cushion, but not on the front part, and the overall feel is nice and comfortable. The weight is not bad for the price, and they feel like a sturdy shoe that will last, except possibly the upper around the toe looks like it could have a hole in the near future, but only time will tell, as it hasn't happened yet, but just feels a little thin there. I found this shoe to be suitable for long and short distances, and wear them as casual shoes also!

Overall

Pros: -well priced (~$50 for me) -high durability (put in >600 miles on these) -decent looks Cons -little bit uncomfortable -takes a while to break in -feels like it could do with a more supportive midsole Personal Notes: The midsole gives out much faster than the rubber outsole
