Overall
I’m enjoying the workouts in the Ride 15. Cushioned, but could use a little more. I’m Able to pick up the pace and work in the threshold level for my distance runs.

A return to a shoe from my past
5/5
Overall
It has been several years since I last wore the Ride. Returning to the shoe has a good choice. Right out of the box I logged an 8 mile run in complete comfort. It was a warm day but my feet were cool and comfortable the whole run. They have a great level of cushion, plenty of room in the toe box, and my feet felt down into the shoe rather than sitting on top. I have a slight concern about durability of the sole. There are some strategically placed blown rubber with the predominantly foam outsole. Hope it hold up well as I prepare for a fall marathon. Overall I am very satisfied with the return and got a a great deal to boot.

Comfortable shoe with ample cushion for easy runs. Could be more durable but the tradeoff is worth it for the light weight.
