Pros
- Both reviewers rate durability 5 out of 5, and one gets 500 to 700 miles a pair against about 300 from the Brooks Ghost and Nike Pegasus.
- Both reviewers find the upper breathable, and one calls the toe box super roomy.
- Averaging 8.0 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is lighter than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers for sale, and one reviewer uses it from 5K to the marathon.
Cons
- Value is its lowest-rated dimension at 3.5 out of 5.
- One reviewer says that once they are finished as running shoes they do not work as walking shoes.
