Nike Lunarglide 6

4/5

Overall

Brilliant shoe. Got it for cheap on Wiggle and loved it. Bought it 3 years ago and I've been injured for 1½ year without running so it's still in great shape. My next pair will be the Vaporfly's

Good shoe

4/5

Overall

One big complaint as with most shoes these days are there is no traction on the bottom. So not the best shoe in the winter in New England. However, I do most of my training in them and like that they feel coushined without the unnecessary added stability features of other shoes. I feel like I wear out the shoes quickly though.

Been running in Lunar Glides since 'Nam. Lovely pieces of work. Durability is probably the least impressive quality, but I can get ~400 miles out of a pair before they start to hurt my knees.

Good shoe for daily training and tempo runs. They don't last much more than 400 to 500 miles so they aren't that durable. Otherwise I would recommend because you can usually find them for pretty cheap and they are great for pretty much any run.
