Overall a good shoe. Could have a little more mid sole cushioning. Then seemed to firm in that area.

Overall

I've worn this shoe multiple times because it fits me very well, though I start to lose cushioning very quickly. Most recently, I had to replace my shoes after 320 miles (I prefer 450ish). I do pound very heavily on my feet, and I run 7 days a week, so this could have contributed to them wearing out so quickly
