Reliable all-purpose shoe, good sole, cushion compresses quickly

4/5

Overall

This shoe is pretty good as far as 10mm trainers go. They are designed to be very comfortable out of the box. I even found that the rubber outsole on the bottom of the shoes held up surprisingly well. The cushion inside compressed pretty quickly for me under the ball of the foot, though (I'm 5'11", 170 lbs). This has been a pretty consistent experience for me with Pegasus models. These are nice shoes if you only expect 200 miles or less out of them, but beyond that becomes questionable due to cushioning and upper, though not the outsole.

Not too heavy and can be worn in workouts. Not a ton of support but its still comfortable enough.
