Really cool first time runner’s shoe, very stable and durable. I don’t like excessive cushioning so it’s perfect for me. The arch is quite raised, but not uncomfortable, I love them they look super good

4/5
Overall
I’ve worn these for over 500 miles and they feel responsive and surprisingly the cushion has held up well. When I first broke them in the middle part hurt my arch and this discomfort would linger every now and then but overall it has withstood hundreds of miles. It’s okay on grass, well on dirt but works best on road or asphalt. I got them on sale (60 bucks) so it was very worth the price. I wouldn’t buy them for anything over 120 but if possible I’d recommend these as bricks for recovery runs or long runs. They can be used for tempo or threshold miles but I wouldn’t recommend for faster pace workouts
