Pros
At 9 oz, reviewers call it light while still feeling supportive.
Reviewers race it from 5K to marathon and train daily in it.
Reviewers describe a responsive ride, and one gets six months at 40 miles a week from a pair.
Cons
One reviewer after five years in it wants more forefoot cushioning and midfoot support.
Another notes slight pressure on top of the foot when their tendons are tight.
Three of thirteen reviewers report an injury while running in it.
