What runners say
“Each step I took felt like my foot was bare yet protected.”
“Nike decided to make the shoe narrower (and $10 more), so I broke through the single-layer upper on both pairs after about 120 miles on each.”
“Minimal stack height and padding, but soft enough to not leave the feet taking the brunt of each step.”
“They don't have any grip whatsoever so when the track was a little wet or icy, I couldn't run in them at all.”
“The shoe feels springy for the first 200 miles, then works as a good easy day shoe for more miles.”
“Your calves will be forced into overtime when doing speed work in the LT4.”
“Can't complain about the durability; used to always rip out the lateral side but in this one I haven't done that.”
“These are extremely tight around my foot and kinda hurt.”
“Current pair has 350+ miles on it and still going strong.”
“My midfoot is tightly wrapped, but my toes kinda float in space.”
“My foot strike and glide feel more natural in these shoes.”
“The toe box is narrow, and the shoe fits like a glove.”
“Not a fan of the $90 price tag; much more desirable and worth it when they were $65.”
“The cushion is very little with less than 1/2 inch of lunarlon foam but this is because the shoe is made for speed not comfort.”
“Durability is solid; currently have about 150 miles on them and they are still going strong.”
“I estimate I get 2500 miles per pair.”
“They lack too much cushioning but are good for these distances.”
“Comfort is good until after about 5-6 miles which is expected.”
“Wish they were a hair wider at the toe span, but at the end of the day they're racing flats.”
“No longer is usable as a trainer for me.”
“They are the most comfortable shoes I've run in.”
