    Pros

    At 7 oz, reviewers find it fast and still fine for easy running.

    Reviewers praise the roomy toe box and the secure midfoot and heel hold.

    All five reviewers so far rate comfort 5 out of 5, and one calls them an extension of their feet.

    Cons

    Durability is the lowest-rated dimension at 4.0 out of 5 across the five reviews so far.

    One reviewer takes a few runs to get comfortable in them.
