    Pros

    One reviewer at 70 miles a week liked it enough to buy three pairs.

    Both reviewers so far rate every dimension 4.5 out of 5.

    Cons

    That same reviewer got a hole in the toe box near the big toe on all three pairs, something he says has never happened to him in another trainer.

    At 11.8 oz in the men's build and 10.0 oz in the women's it sits in the heavy weight band.

    The Supernova Sequence 4 and 5 score 63 and 55, so the line has not rated well.
