Pros
At 8.0 oz on a 6mm drop, and the one reviewer so far places it between a daily trainer and a racing flat.
That reviewer describes a glove-like fit and rates comfort and durability 5 out of 5.
Cons
Cushioning draws 3 out of 5 in the single review so far, the lowest mark of any dimension, and that reviewer initially expected to wear it only once a week for that reason.
The original Sonic RA Pro scores 72 on two reviews against its 66.
