Overall

I like this shoe but (for me) it is too soft and not responsive enough while also not not flexible enough and it has too much of a heel to toe drop.

Overall

Some might think it too squishy, but the Lunaracer is a fantastically light and bouncy flat. The traction can be a bit slippy, but I appreciate the extra cushion for some road racing action.

Picked up for my first marathon, performed well enough. I thought it was working well enough so I picked up a second pair on sale for my second marathon.
