Overall

Good training and racing shoe with medial post. I would recommend for slight to moderate overpronators who want a fast shoe and a bit of support. Upper is comfortable, outsole is durable, this has been my go-to shoe for a long time. Still, a few complaints: the latest versions of this shoe are hideous, and the forefoot feels thin. Replacing the factory insole with one that adds 1-2 mm of thickness solves this problem.
