Overall

This shoe has performed well for me both on the track and road. It is lightweight and very comfortable. I like their appearance and have gotten a few comments on them as well. I got them on a gift card for Christmas but they were priced reasonably. With only 100 miles on them I can attest to their overall durability yet but they do seem to be holding up well. Only time (and more miles), will tell.
