I will use these to run a half marathon

4/5

Overall

I like how worn down these are currently. I frequently run barefoot and try to use shoes that are worn down for that same experience. I have a little too much cushion on my heel, but overall a good shoe. I just don't like the laces. They ALWAYS come undone. I will be looking for new laces.

Though these are an older model shoe, they are great for a run ranging from 1-5 miles at a time.
