Pros

  • Two reviewers moved to it from the Nike Pegasus, and one says it controls their severe pronation.
  • It lists at $120, below the $150 median for daily trainers on sale.
  • One reviewer has worn it for five years with no complaints.

Cons

  • Two reviewers find the cushioning and grip break down early, one of them inside 300 miles, though another calls the durability excellent after ten months.
  • Averaging 10.1 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is much heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale.
  • One reviewer with high arches says it helps their plantar fasciitis but brings on knee pain.

I switched from the Pegasus. I was sore for the first few days, but I quickly adapted. This shoe really makes you heel strike more than the Pegasus.
