Pros
Two reviewers get 350 to 450 miles before noticeable wear.
At 8.2 oz, one reviewer calls it far lighter than any other stability shoe they have run in.
Runners like the firm, responsive ride for picking up the pace.
Cons
It lists at $170, and one reviewer notes that is $40 more than comparable trainers where they shop; value is its lowest-rated dimension.
One reviewer finds the energy return low and the cushioning too soft on downhills.
One reviewer finds the platform curves in too narrow.
