“Light and fast, but with enough forefoot cushion to keep your legs from hitting the pavement too hard.”
“The flatter heel-to-toe drop combined with the wide toe-box and comfortable upper creates a superb ride.”
“Loose ankle/heel area—feels like it slides around on your ankle/heel when taking hard turns or running uneven ground.”
“Very high quality, durable—500 miles and counting with very little sign of wear.”
“The lugs under the ball of the foot take some getting used to and cause the shoe to feel a bit unstable when taking tight corners quickly.”
“The uppers are well fitted and do not have a lot of cushioning, which I like.”
“This shoe lasts for upwards of 800 miles (considering form).”
“The Gravity III are not as durable as the Gravity in terms of the outsole.”

“The Gravity III are lighter and somewhat more comfortable than the Gravity.”
“The tongue is way too padded and big.”
“Great bounce-back feel. Very light feeling.”
