Pros

Six reviewers call it light for a stability shoe.
Four reviewers log 70 to 95 miles a week in it, two of them using it for tempo work.
Comfort averages 4.6 out of 5 across twenty-three reviews, and one reviewer trains seventeen weeks for a marathon in a pair.

Cons

One reviewer finds the ride stiff, rotates another trainer for most distance runs, and sees it wear out earlier than their other shoes.
Eight of the twenty-three reviewers report an injury while running in it.
Averaging 9.9 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers for sale.
