Not the best, but not bad

4/5

Overall

This shoe is on the market with a price range of between $35-75, and for the price, it's not that bad. Not bad only if you're a light trainer. I ran around 45-50 miles a week, and though they did hold up well on the sidewalk and roads (+ a little grass too!), they began to fall apart during my cross country season, where on the gravel paths and rolling hills, dirt caught in between the sole and the shoe and slowly tore it down. And with a little bit of rain and puddles, it cracked even more! Overall, the lifespan seems to be about 6 months; which is not at all bad, but definitely invest a little more money into a shoe that packs more for you. I didn't mention comfort because it's fine.
