Very solid

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

5/5

Overall

I used the Nike Lunartempo 2 as a lightweight trainer for the last few years. It’s very comfortable and versatile enough for almost any pace. I even did a few races in them and didn’t feel heavy at all. The only small drawback is that they’re aren’t the most durable being a lighter shoe, but I was still able to put about 800 miles on each pair before they started feeling dead.

Quite spongey and light weight, Ive done about 100 miles in them so far and they are holding up okay. I can see them lasting another 200-300 easily enough
