This is the best daily trainer I have found. The foam feels squishy enough for easy runs, but the shoe is easily light enough for fun tempo work. I love it.

I like the cushioning on these. I am 6'1 and 165 pounds. I used these for easy runs and a few tempos. I wouldn't use them in races, but they are good as a daily trainer.
I like that these come in 4E. They fit my bunion well. The heel counter js a little stiffer towards the bottom, but flexible up top. It doesn't irritate my Achilles like the brooks ghost.
I have a little over 200 miles on these. When I compare them to a new pair, I can definitely tell they are a little worn. But the outsole doesn't have too much wear. I could probably comfortable get another 100-150 miles before they're toast. I think I wear shoes quicker than average because my gait isn't always super even.
I also like that they changed it an 8MM drop. It has a pretty even ride.
