Pros
- Cushioning averages 5 out of 5 across its three reviews, and two of them use it for easy and long road runs.
- Averaging 8.1 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is lighter than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers for sale.
Cons
- It lists at $160, above the $150 median for daily trainers for sale, and value averages 3.7 out of 5, the lowest of its dimensions.
- One reviewer finds the outsole grooves pick up gravel, and another dislikes the one-piece upper and sizes a full size up from the previous LunarEpic.
