Marathon training

5/5

Overall

I have used this show for training and running Berlin marathon. Gives a firm comfortable run. I would love a bit more cushioning so that as you are fatigued you don't feel the weight of the shoe, although it is a shoe that is light in weight. Could use brighter colors vs. the greys

Overall

Plush, easy on the legs but slightly heavy b these are my go to shoe for long runs and easy days. Also, they're a wonderful shoe to wear if you're walking on a sight seeing trip or standing all day at a track meet!
