Pros
Two reviewers rate the outsole highly on wet roads and dirt, one calling it the best on the market.
At 7.5 oz in the men's build and 6.5 oz in the women's, and reviewers describe it as fast.
All twelve reviewers so far rate value 5 out of 5, and one calls it the most affordable supershoe on the market.
Cons
Cushioning is the weakest dimension at 4.1 out of 5.
One reviewer finds less propulsion than in a Nike Vaporfly, closer to a racing flat with extra cushioning.
