What runners say

Great ride and mid foot wrap. A little loose in the heel which detracts a bit from the overall feel and performance.

Very lightweight cushioned shoe. Iso-fit is comfortable, but requires specific adjustments on laces to feel right.

Great, incredibly comfortable, good-looking shoe. Run mostly on the roads, and it definitely is good cushioning for that. Feels light enough for a very cushioned shoe.
