Overall

Within my time using this shoes (as a runner) i found that it was very comfortable as well as stylish. It can be used for different settings as well as dusty trail runs its lightweight which benefited me on long runs ...over time its responce faded slightly but overall it remains a great running shoe i give it two thumbs up. ??

Overall

I'm a big fan of the simple styling, neutral arch, and light weight of these shoes. I wouldn't use these to log monster miles, but they are awesome for 5ks, tempo runs, recovery runs on the road, and track workouts. I had the previous years model, and found that they didn't hold up too long under the duress of being a daily wear shoe for about 50m a week. Otherwise, its a bad ass product. I strap on my Pegasus for the long stuff!
