Nike Lunarglide 6

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

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.

4/5

Overall

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.
