Pros
- Both reviewers rate comfort 5 out of 5 across regular weekly mileage.
- Reviewers value the supportive structure for steady everyday running.
Cons
- Averaging 10.6 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers for sale, and one reviewer calls it heavy and not great for faster running.
