5/5

Overall

I switched to these shoes after running in the Asics DS trainers, and I absolutely love them. I started out in the structure 15 and 16s and with each new model they just get better and better. They are extremely durable, I have a pair that I ran it for 500 miles and they didn't seem to have broken down fully. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever ran in for regular day to day training, and they have lots of different colors and styles that appeal to all different tastes. Overall, these are shoes that I think I will to continue to use as long as nike continues to make them.

I switched to these from the lunarfly models and initially it was difficult to get used to the increased support in the toe box, but now that I've switched, I really enjoy them.

Overall

I bought this shoe in hope that it would help with my reoccurring plantar fasciitis, however the injury continues to persist. I bought it at the store because it felt and looked like a simple shoe, nothing too over the top and at a price that was reasonable.
