What runners say
“Even after 480 miles I would be comfortable running in these, and would not be in any other shoe.”
“It lasts 500 miles before any real sign of wear.”
“I get at least 500 miles in them.”
“My first pair lasted about 400 miles before the sole was noticeably worn down and the cushioning felt less protective.”
“They do not wear in the toes, perfect for anyone who entirely avoids heel striking.”
“The Ride series has a nice bouncy, responsive feel.”
“Have always gotten more than 350 miles on each pair.”
“The toe-box is much more reasonably sized in this one than in the tiny Ride 9.”
“Light enough for fast track or tempo work, but have no problem doing long runs in them.”
“This shoe is light enough for tempo runs but durable enough for all the training runs.”
“The toe box is not especially roomy, but I am pretty sensitive to having my toes feel cramped and have had no issues.”
“One problem is the durability on the sole, as the lugs wore down quickly.”
“Usually run in 4mm drop, these feel like high heels.”
“I had issues with getting blisters in these pretty badly when I was breaking them in.”
“I don't find it as responsive in workouts or when trying to pick up the pace.”
“Runs flat, without much bounce.”
“They are a touch heavier than the Kinvaras.”
“Starting off it was a little slappy but that went away after a couple of runs.”
