Overall

I have had 5 pairs of this so far, and I would buy them again if I could find them - the best combination (so far) of responsive cushioning, stability, and durability. I have worn these from 5k to 50 Mile races. I also had the Lunarglide+ 3 breathe, which was equally excellent, and the Lunarglide+3 weather resistant, which was not quite breathable enough, even at sub freezing temperatures. I have also tried the 4 and 5 versions, but while they feel equally good, the exposed midsole reduces durability too much.
