5/5

Overall

This is the only shoe I’ve ran in that felt uncontrollably fast, but not propulsive. It constantly nudges to go faster without being bouncy, springy, it’s just there underfoot. I personally loved it in every distance from the mile to half marathon, and am yet to try and push it to the marathon, but it’s a terrible easy run shoe but will get through warm up runs and cooldowns for workouts.
