Light stability for a great value

5/5

Overall

This stability shoe is great as a trainer; I continue to be injury-free as an overpronator with flat feet, which is the most important quality I look for. The Ravenna is its direct competitor which is a bouncier, and lighter shoe though the latest model features guiderails which makes it similarly stiff overall. The GT 1000 9 also has a 8mm drop which gives a more natural feel, which I prefer. I've worn 2 pairs of this shoe and both lasted ~290 miles, while the Ravenna 10 lasted ~330, but you get what you pay for.
