I would run 500 miles

I speak truthiness · Sep 28, 2025

4/5

Overall

I've had about 4-5 pairs of this exact model and I love them. I've put 500+ miles on them and they never fell apart. They fit me really well and I never had any issues. I wasn't as big a fan of the next model so I stocked up on the v5 while I had the chance.

Needed a high mileage neutral trainer. Does the job, but not the most comfortable shoe and the tongue/lace up is not very comfortable.
