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.
