    Pros

    Reviewers call it light and fast for track and threshold work.

    One reviewer calls it a smaller super shoe, with the responsiveness and cushion of higher-stacked options.

    Value is among its best-rated dimensions, and one reviewer says it is more than worth the price.

    Cons

    Comfort is its lowest-rated dimension, at 4.2 out of 5.
