What runners say
“By 300 miles, the rubber had worn all the way through and my big toe had worn a hole through the upper”
“The stitching or glue on the logo scratches the instep and is very uncomfortable for the first 100 miles”
“Within the first 200 miles the shoes had already worn through the first layer of rubber on the toe”
“Last between 700 and 1000 miles before you feel the road on your feet”
“My shoes have been through a lot: mud, snow, ice, and many deep puddles of standing water”
“Less than a couple of weeks later my shin pain was gone”
“You'll notice a more grounded feel”
“The 7s are like a futuristic robot version of the 6, not as practical and natural looking”
“They are pretty stiff for the first 100/150 miles”
“Practically injury-free while wearing them”
“They've already changed shape after about 200 miles”
“Hardly had to do any breaking in”
“Great shoe for recovery days my feet and knees felt great after”
“If you are used to lighter shoes, these will feel clunky for the first week of use”
“The support is starting to fade away, but normally my shoes' supports start to fade at 200 miles”
“They are cheaper so they are great in a pinch”
“Great value though once you get used to them”
“These trainers have been very durable and versatile”
