Overall

I've always had good results from Nike's Bowerman line, (mostly Zoom Elites) and when that went away the Lunarglide line seemed to be the closest thing in spirit, so I tried it and it's been good. Mostly the shoes are light, fit well, and hold up well.. They don't offer anything special in the way of cushioning or structure/stability/support, but I don't feel like I really need any of that.
