Pros

  • Light at 7.6 oz in the men's build and 6.1 oz in the women's, and the one reviewer so far calls it lightweight and comfortable.

Cons

  • That reviewer finds it lacking in arch support and says long distances wear on you in it.
  • He also says the lip migrates to one side of each foot whatever he does about it.

Good not Amazing

4/5

Overall

Light weight, comfortable but lacking in lower arch support. Long distance will wear on you with these but great for mid to short distance. The lip migrates to the left or right of each foot regardless of what you do to mitigate that from happening.
