What runners say
“Great mix of springy responsiveness and nice soft cushion for both long runs and speedier sessions”
“Near 300 miles, hole forms and you're running with big toe out”
“Get a couple hundred more miles from boost foam than Pegasus or Vomero”
“Durability is an issue—went through first pair at only 350 miles”
“The boost foam and continental rubber sole are incredible, both for cushion and for durability”
“First shoe worn out of the box with no need for heel cups or heel liner modifications”
“Top mesh near big toe rips way too soon”
“These shoes last longer than comparable Nike Pegasus or Saucony Ride”
“Smooth ride makes it feel lighter on foot than it actually is”
“Not the softest shoe, but lasts forever”
“Gets 600-700 miles before shoes start to feel dead”
“Mesh heel covers Achilles in a locked-in but soft and comfy way”
“Achilles area is comfy, light but cushioned, tongue design is A+”
“Get about 300 miles before stiffness in quads from cushion running out”
“Heel counter doesn't go all the way around; stretchy Achilles fabric doesn't provide traditional locked-down feeling”
“A little too much shoe for speed work beyond strides”
“Would like a little more cushioning for longest runs”
“Best suited for medium width feet”
