I use another shoe for my warm up, then put the carbon Vs on n log the run under 1st shoe. I don t want to know the real miles.
So there is that. (And I have 2 pair n do the same for both.)

Shoe was great in the beginning but durability was lest than 80 miles which is why I won’t be buying them again

Fast when needed
Although I used this shoe as a daily trainer, it’s carbon plate kept it nice and not for workout days while also propelling me up hills on any run.
Durable?
Although the shoe fell apart by the end of it’s use, I was able to stitch the shoe together and it continued to work impressively well.

This supposedly isn’t a performance improving super-shoe but it seems to help my legs and form feeling good, especially for tempos and long repeat workouts. Fits snugger than other Hokas I’ve tried (which have been too roomy in the forefoot for me).
