5/5

Overall

This model and brand shoe I`ve trained in since I`ve become serious about training almost 20 years. In high school like everyone else I used Nikes and suffered with fit. When I started training again later in life for tri's I experimented with a number of brands (Nike, Ascics, and Saucony) I truly believe there a shoe for every foot and I found mine with the hurricanes. They are a kind of stiff shoe and absolutely you need to break them in. Or you could suffer with a hot spot or two. Extremely durable but I also rotate my shoes.
