Pros

The one reviewer so far rates value 5 out of 5.

Cons

Appearance draws 1 out of 5 in the single review so far, the lowest mark of any dimension.
That reviewer, a midfoot runner, never felt fast or smooth in them and blames the high drop.
He also reports a hole forming near the small toe and a loose heel even with heel lock lacing.

Good Value, Mediocre Shoe

3/5

Overall

Having run 100 miles in these shoes, I can not complete a thorough evaluation of them. That being said, the high drop of these shoes makes them somewhat awkward for a mid-forefoot runner, as lower drop shoes would make the drop feel more natural. I never quite got the feeling of really running fast and smooth in these, even on a 5:18 1600m repeat or while finishing off a run fast. The upper shows potential for a hole around the small toe region and the heel is a little loose even with heel lock. Traction is ok, but overall it is a middle of the line shoe. It gets the job done, but that's about it.
