Pros

  • At 8.1 oz in the men's build and 7.4 oz in the women's, on a 24mm heel and a 6mm drop.
  • The one reviewer so far says it is great for workouts and that the shoe adapts to his stride.

Cons

  • Durability draws 3 out of 5 in the single review so far, and that reviewer says the upper did not hold up for everyday training.

4/5

Overall

good shoe, just the upper did not hold up very well. liked how lightweight they were and they were great for doing workouts in but over time they just did not hold up for everyday training. the shoe is comfortable and runs neutral. shoe seams to adapt to how ever your stride is and helps keep you from getting injured.
