    Pros

    Reviewers report outsoles holding up past 500 miles with little wear.

    Reviewers use it for easy runs, tempo work and marathons.

    Many describe cushioning that stays springy while keeping road feel.

    Cons

    Uppers often tear or look ragged before the sole wears.

    Eleven of forty-two reviewers with a fit answer say it runs small, and seven find the upper loose enough to feel unstable cornering.
